The Famine Early Warning Systems Network says that in Africa alone over 20 million people are at high risk from acute food shortages, with millions more following suit. To mitigate this, agricultural scientists are scrambling to improve food security in a sustainable way  and at an unprecedented scale, with researchers looking at a four-point strategy to help Africa weather this storm. Lessons learned here could help the rest of the world cope with such challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This four-pronged strategy include the promotion on \u2018non-tradable\u2019 commodities, better integration of markets, closing the gap between actual  and potential yields,  and diversification of rural economies. This strategy was born out of the recognition of the changing global environment in which international agricultural research centers operate. Unlike the situation in the early 1970\u2019s, current research thrusts have moved beyond just keeping the Malthusian spectre of food scarcity at bay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Non-tradable commodities are goods or services which are not usually traded outside of a country  and whose prices are mainly dictated by domestic supply  and dem and. They are, therefore, largely immune from variations in exchange rates or world market trends. In Sub-Saharan Africa, governments should promote the utilization of non-tradable crops such as cassava, sorghum, millet, yam, cocoyam, banana  and plantain, cowpea  and bambara nut as substitutes to corn  and rice, which are prone to global price fluctuations. These could be supplemented by small livestock such as goats  and sheep to supply the required nutriments to families in poor communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Markets at the local, national,  and regional levels in Africa should be better integrated to complement each other. It is amazing to see massive food aid to some parts of the continent to shore-up the lack of food, while in other parts there are production gluts. Northern African countries, for example, have a shortage of animal feed, while those in the sub-Saharan region produce enough cassava to more than satisfy such feed markets. Market integration entails massive political will  and investments. Basic infrastructure such as farm-to-market roads  and transportation facilities need to be established, while at higher levels, policies supportive of integration need to be formulated  and implemented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Africa, a big gap still exists between the actual  and achievable yields of major food crops. In Nigeria, for example, actual production of rice, maize  and cassava are currently at 3.0, 2.8  and 12.0 t\/ha, respectively, far below their potential yields of 5.0, 7.0  and 45.0 t\/ha. Just by closing the yield gap, food production can easily double or triple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Already, international agricultural research centres operating in Africa such as Africa Rice, IRRI, IITA,  and CIMMYT are pitching in. IITA with its partners, for example, have developed  and disseminated better yielding cassava varieties to farmers in Mozambique  and Nigeria, which are also resistant to the cassava brown streak disease. At the same time, we are also applying molecular-based approaches to make African bananas resistant to the deadly Banana <em>Xanthomonas<\/em> Wilt. Africa Rice  and IRRI are deploying high-yielding drought-tolerant rice varieties across the continent, while CIMMYT is doing the same with drought-tolerant maize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Addressing the food challenges in Africa must take into account regional differences. In southern Africa, political  and agricultural policies in the past concentrated on the production of only one prime commodity. This made the region vulnerable to natural shocks. For example, the productivity of cereals in this part of the continent substantially drops during droughts or floods. Diversification into a \u2018food basket\u2019 strategy would be appropriate in such a situation  and should be pursued aggressively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The research agenda of research centers has also exp anded to include the three goals of agricultural productivity, environmental sustainability,  and a more explicit focus on poverty reduction that recognizes the dynamic  and multidimensional nature of livelihoods of poor people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, scientists now not only emphasize on just producing more pest\/disease resistant crops  and higher-yielding varieties but also on innovative extension techniques, the creation of input markets  and delivery systems,  and the strengthening  and diversification of output markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">International agricultural research centers are research for development organisations, but what is research <em>without<\/em>development? Research-for-development emphasises on the pursuit of a policy of advocacy after research is completed  and then <em>exiting<\/em> to let development specialists bring the fruits of research to the ground where they find practical application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As centers of excellence, a paradigm shift is needed from being supply-led to becoming more proactive  and responsive,  and one in which public\/private partnerships  and client orientation are core principles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This shift would entail a drastic change in the role of agricultural researchers from just being \u201cthe science guys\u201d. They must now also become partners, teachers, students, advocates, development workers,  and communicators all rolled into one. Their work then must have an <em>envisioned<\/em> impact that leads to concrete  and practical outcomes that are useful to target beneficiaries  and end-users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These strategies are not overnight solutions: they will take time, commitment,  and money. Their potential to address hunger  and food insecurity is enormous if the support is there. However, at a time when the world needs them the most, many traditional donors are downsizing their investments in agricultural research, which does not bode well to hungry people in Africa or anywhere else for that matter. But that is a different issue altogether.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>###<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Pour plus d'informations, veuillez contacter :<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jeffrey Oliver, <a>J.oliver@cgiar.org<\/a><br>Responsable de la communication d'entreprise<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Godwin Atser, <a>G.Atser@cgiar.org<\/a><br>Regional Corporate Communications Officer (West &amp; Central Africa)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Catherine Njuguna, <a>c.njuguna@cgiar.org<\/a><br>Regional Corporate Communications Officer (East &amp; Southern Africa)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bureau de la communication<br>IITA \u2013 Si\u00e8ge<br>Ibadan, Nig\u00e9ria<br>URL : <a href=\"https:\/\/iita.org\/fr\/\">www.iita.org<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u00c0 propos de l'IITA<\/strong><br>L'Afrique est confront\u00e9e \u00e0 des probl\u00e8mes complexes qui minent l'agriculture et la vie des populations.
