The continent's long record of threats in food security will also be addresses if more food business investments will come to the region.Africa has a population of almost 1 billion, the second largest next to Asia. The count is still expanding. This largely affects their food security which unfortunately, leads to a bad effect on the overall health and nutrition of the region.
