Africa climate crisis

Sadly, the technology and developments applied from the developed countries are not always the best for Africa, and Africa therefore lags second or third on a global scale. Africa only receives four percent of investment in agricultural research from all sources, including donors or internal government budgets. An increased investment in research would aid countries to comprehend Africa’s climate and the impact of climate change.

Intra-African integration should be encouraged. A problem shared is a problem halved. When African countries and organisations can objectively and proactively map a progressive way forward to provide broad and sustained support for food security, it will also extend to improve health care, with emphasis on the most vulnerable, and Africa will move forward, handle conflict better, and deliver more disaster relief where required.

PA is also known as satellite agriculture and site-specific crop management (SSCM).

Access to weather and climate information, especially for women who make up a large percentage of the agricultural workforce and are the most vulnerable, is necessary. Information aids to boost production in agriculture through more knowledgeable decisionmaking.

Funding by most African governments towards research and development when it comes to agriculture, is still quite low in most of sub-Saharan Africa. Few inventions utilised in Africa are developed in Africa, therefore most of the countries rely on technology developed in first-world countries.
