Women Scientists Turn Indigenous Crops into Africa’s Food Security Bulwark
"Currently, we are producing about 300,000 metric tons of various African indigenous vegetables which are normally consumed locally. So my presumption is that if they are being consumed locally, they must be contributing to food security in Kenya and the same occurs in other African countries."
#AfricanCurrents spoke with African Food Price laureates Prof. Mary Abukutsa (Department of Horticulture & Food Security, Jomo Kenyatta University, Kenya) and Dr. Mercy Diebiru-Ojo (International Institute of Tropical Agriculture, Nigeria) on their mission to turn indigenous crops into homegrown solutions for Africa’s food security.
You’ll never look at African leafy veggies the same way again – too inspiring to miss!
