An estimated 342 million people in Africa are severely food insecure. Many millions more experience chronic undernutrition and hunger. This class explores the drivers and dimensions of food insecurity across Africa, with attention to roles played by conflict, climate change, technology, health, economic factors, and policy in shaping food systems and the occurrence of hunger. In addition to understanding why this crisis exists, we will assess a range of strategies to address it.
