Abstract
Food security has economic, political and strategic implications, and bears on the basic right to subsistence, national economic security, and social stability. Since the dawn of the century, African countries, guided by the UN Millennium Development Goals, the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, and the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP), have made progress towards “zero hunger” thanks to their unwavering commitment. Notwithstanding, under the combined impact of the Ukraine crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic, global food insecurity has grown and become a focus of global attention.
