Who We Are

Food Security Africa (FSA) is a group of like minded individuals who have come together to tackle a growing issue we have noticed on the continent especially in the SADC region, namely the decrease in food security, and increase in climate instability.

We believe a key feature of food security in the modern age and going forward is the proliferation of farming methodologies based on Climate-Smart Agriculture, and greater access to modern agricultural technology for small scale farmers
