According to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, there were estimated 1 billion people who suffered from chronic under-nourishment from 2014 to 2016. Low agricultural productivity, post-harvest losses, and agricultural policies are some of the contributing factors to malnutrition around the world. For example, in Nigeria, despite access to arable land for agricultural development, Nigeria remains one of the most impoverished in food security and hunger. According to the Hunger and Nutrition Commitment Index for Africa (HANCI-Africa), Nigeria ranks 37th out of 45 African countries rated as having “very low commitment” to tackling hunger and under-nutrition.

BAF will enhance agricultural and aquaculture development initiatives through education, training and mechanization. These initiatives will include:

Establishing a “Go Back to Farm Campaign” to inspire African youths to engage in large-scaled agricultural and aquaculture developments through mechanization.

Partnering with public and private sectors to increase spending on agricultural and aquaculture developments especially in areas of food production and preservation.

Partnering with local and international agencies and communities to establish adequate training and infrastructural developments for food preservation. This will prevent/reduce post-harvest losses and strengthen food security across Africa and in the U.S.A.

Partnering with agricultural experts to organizing quarterly and annual submits in Africa for local community leaders and farmers on how to improve and sustain agricultural productivity.
