Abstract

Food insecurity has negative economic impacts, exacerbates poverty and poses today a problem to hundreds of millions in the African continent, especially in rural communities of arid and semi-arid regions (UN 2015). By mid-century, nine billion people will require an increase in food production as per today. Inevitably, competition for energy, land and water will rise with growing food demand (Park 2016).
