Africa’s 54 countries covering a land area of 11.7 million square miles have an enormous diversity in terms of climate and terrain. The continent and its 1.4 billion population, however, face a number of hardships. The United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) reveals in its ‘State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World Report 2024’ that 20.4% of people in Africa face hunger, compared to 9% globally, and that the prevalence of moderate or severe food insecurity in Africa at 58% is nearly double the global average.

With every step he takes, he is determined to turn this vision into reality, channeling his passion into the fields that sustain his culture, his region, and his continent.
