The Problem

Africa has 30% of the world's natural resources and some of the best climate, rainfall and soils in the world. Africa has an adundance of arable land compared to the rest of the world. Yet, 35% of the population is chronically undernourished and the whole continent of Africa only contributes 1.3% to the world's produce - it has the same GDP as a small country like Mexico.*

While world grain production has been increasing, Africa's production has remained stagnant:
Over the last 50 years Africa has recieved over US$2,000 billion of aid, yet the number of people living in poverty has increased.

Why is Africa gripped by poverty and hunger? Why is the situation getting worse despite all the aid being given?

Foundations for Farming can reverse this trend because it brings a very effective and appropriate techonoly and implementation system and deals with the socio-cultural causes of the problem.
