What are the actual dimensions of the problem? What has trade and climate got to do with it? In \u003cem\u003eHow Africa Eats: Trade, Food Security and Climate Risks\u003c\/em\u003e, award-winning author David Luke and a team of researchers seek to answer these questions, to explain why Africa struggles with food security and what can be done about it. The intersection between trade, agriculture policies, and climate risks is fundamental to this enquiry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUsing a data-led approach, this book examines in detail what Africa eats and where and how it is produced. It investigates how finance, investment, foreign aid, institutions, actors and capacities interact with policies in holding Africa back from becoming an agricultural powerhouse despite having 60 per cent of the world's arable land area.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book evaluates how climate change exacerbates the continent's challenges and scrutinises the sustainability of production systems in the face of environmental volatility. Experts in trade policy, international law and development unpack the barriers that currently limit the growth of intra-African food trade, including the role of the World Trade Organization (WTO), and model the expected impact of the implementation of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) on agricultural trade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe extent of food deprivation in Africa is sobering. The United Nations estimates that a fifth of the African population is undernourished, and a quarter live with the day-to-day experience of severe food insecurity. \u003cem\u003eHow Africa Eats\u003c\/em\u003e provides a vital, open access resource for academics, policymakers and trade experts seeking to address the continent's food insecurity in the face of urgent threats from climate change, trade barriers and complex policy challenges. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 296\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.62 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 22, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47208787312889,"sku":"9781911712343","price":37.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/WvnZkVzJKX9781911712343.webp?v=1768058192","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/how-africa-eats-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
