Background and problem statement"No poverty" and "zero hunger" are the first and second sustainable Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) of the United Nations (Sachs, 2012). Achieving these goals requires access - physical, social, and economic -to sufficient, safe and nutritious food for all people (FAO, 2009). However, food production systems face a three-fold challenge. First, the world population of 5.9 billion in 1997/98 will grow to 8.3 billion in 2030 and 9.3 billion in 2050 (Bruinsma, 2017; FAO, 2017b). Moreover, the population is getting more affluent, which increases the demand for food (Godfray et al., 2010). Second, food production systems need to reduce their impact on the environment to reduce global warming, pollution and environmental degradation (Godfray et al., 2010). Moreover, food production is competing for natural resources with other human needs for land, water, and energy. Third, the effects of climate change are a threat to food production systems. To respond to these challenges, food production systems need to increase agricultural output by 70 percent between 2006 and 2050 (FAO, 2009), reduce their impact on the environment, and become resilient, reliable and robust (3R) (Vlajic, Van der Vorst, & Haijema, 2012). Food production systems should produce more food, more efficient and equitable (Godfray et al., 2010). It requires changes in the way food is produced, stored, processed, distributed and accessed (Von Braun, 2007).Despite globalization, food security in most of the developing world depends upon local food production (Funk & Brown, 2009). Most rural households in developing nations are involved in agriculture and most food is produced and consumed locally (Lamb, 2000). Thus, local agricultural production is critical to both food security and economic development among the rural poor, and increasing its productivity remains a central food security issue (Devereux, 2001; Schmidhuber & Tubiello, 2007). 1.1.1 Agriculture development in AfricaZero hunger is the second of 17 Sustainable Development Goals adopted by the United Nations as part of its 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (Nations, 2015) but achieving this while reducing negative environmental impacts is one of the greatest challenges facing humanity.Food security is about access to safe, nutritious and sufficient food all year round (FAO, 2009). While food insecurity-measured as not having access to at least 2,100 calories per day-has declined across all regions of the world, challenges remain. Food insecurity is still prevalent in parts of Sub-Saharan Africa, Asia, and Latin America and the Caribbean. The number of people considered food insecure (these regions) in 2020 is estimated at 761 million. Of those, about 50 percent live in Sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries, and 44 percent live in Asian countries (Baquedano, Christensen, Ajewole, & Beckman, 2020).Global food security has improved over the past 15 years, because of two key drivers: increased agricultural production and trade (Baquedano et al., 2020). In countries where climate or lack of land or water resources limit the potential for local production, food imports have played an important complementary role. Since 1990, among the SSA, Asia, and Latin America and the Caribbean regions, production and imports of cereal grains and their equivalent has increased by 16 and 115 percent, respectively. Despite past success, challenges remain. Maintaining agricultural productivity growth as the global population rises will require investments to generate and deliver new technologies as well as efforts to broadly spread their adoption in food insecure countries (Baquedano et al., 2020).The current food system (production, transport, processing, packaging, storage, retail, consumption, loss, and waste) feeds the great majority of world population and supports the livelihoods of over 1 billion people (Mbow et al., 2019). Since 1961, food supply per capita has increased more than 30%, accompanied by greater use of nitrogen fertilizers (increase of about 800%) and water resources for irrigation (increase of more than 100%). However, an estimated 821 million people are currently undernourished. The food system is under pressure from both climate change, and non-climate stressors such as population and income growth, and demand for animal-sourced products. These climate and non-climate stressors are impacting the four pillars of food security (availability, access, utilization, and stability). The current food system also threatens the health of people and the planet: agriculture accounts for 70 percent of water use and generates unsustainable levels of pollution and waste (WB, 2020). One-third of food produced globally is either lost or wasted (WB, 2020). Addressing food loss and waste is critical to improving food and nutrition security, as well as helping to meet climate goals and reduce stress on the environment. Risks associated with poor diets are also the leading cause of death worldwide (Mbow et al., 2019; WB, 2020).
