Straight Talk on Africa’s Food Future
Food security isn’t a side issue. It’s the foundation of Africa’s future. When people don’t have enough to eat, nothing else works — not schools, not economies, not even peace. Right now, more than 280 million Africans go hungry every day. In some places, most families can’t afford even a basic healthy diet.
That’s the reality. And too often, it’s not the headline.
That’s why we started Food for Africa News. To make hunger, farming, and water security front-page issues — not background noise.
Our Approach
We are based in Ghana and supported by partners across business, government, and non-profits. But our reporting is fully independent. No spin, no fluff — just clear stories that cut to the truth.
We combine modern tools with human voices. Data matters, but so do the words of a farmer in Malawi, a mother in South Sudan, or a trader in Accra. Both tell the story.
Why It Matters
- Hunger is rising: Africa is the only continent where the number of hungry people keeps going up.
- Climate is shifting: floods and droughts are wiping out crops and pushing families from their homes.
- Conflict makes it worse: when wars close borders or cut supply routes, food prices rise overnight.
The cost of all this is not just empty stomachs. It’s children who can’t grow, economies that can’t move forward, and communities trapped in cycles of survival.
Food Security Is Everyone’s Business
We believe food security shouldn’t be an expert-only topic. It’s everyone’s concern, and it should be everyone’s news.
That’s our job — to make sure it is.
Our Promise
- Original stories you won’t find anywhere else.
- On-the-ground reporting from across Africa.
- Global context so you understand how outside forces shape Africa’s food future.
