  • Can Africa improve its marketing?
    Smallscale farmers are not always able to sell their produce, or even reach a market. But there are ways they can improve their products, so that they are more competitive when they do reach the marketplace. The market is a rapidly changing environment. Expectations from buyers change and prices change fast. How are farmers adapting to the changes – are they becoming creative, or are they losing their way?
  • Healing pastoral conflict 2
    The world is not getting any bigger, but every day there are more people to fill it. Populations are getting larger, while spaces are getting smaller. For pastoralists and nomadic communities, this is becoming more of a problem. Nomadic people must move around to find essential natural resources, such as water and green pastures. But with less space to move in, they are not as free to graze their livestock. And to make the problem worse, at certain times of the year, there are longer dry seasons and less rain.

  • Race against rice blast
    For rice farmers, the disease called ‘rice blast’ is one of the biggest threats. The disease is caused by a fungus, which is carried in the seed of the plant. The disease attacks the plant leaves, which become spotted. Soon the plant is so badly affected that it can no longer make energy and it dies. In a serious case, a whole crop can be lost and the farmer is left with what looks like a field of burned plants.
  • Money talks – big business
    A big problem for farmers in many parts of Africa is getting their produce to the market. Even good quality produce can rot in a short period of time. If the roads are bad, or if storage is not secure, food can arrive at the market in a poor condition and customers will not buy damaged goods – whether they are individuals in the market or quality inspectors in a business.
