Rising food prices, population growth and climate change – exacerbating droughts – are all factors contributing to increased food insecurity in Africa. Also, the continent lacks agricultural infrastructure to store its own grains. GGA’s Leleti Maluleke and Stephen Buchanan-Clarke unpack this worrying conundrum in the latest episode of The Conversation.
Stephen Buchanan-Clarke leads the Peace and Security Programme at Good Governance Africa's Southern Africa Regional Office (SARO), where he monitors political and security risks across the region and provides strategic policy guidance to both public and private sector partners.
Prior to his current role, Stephen headed the Countering Violent Extremism Programme at the Institute for Justice and Reconciliation (IJR). He currently serves as a member of the Peacemaking Advisory Group (PAG), actively engaging in conflict resolution and mediation efforts in Mozambique and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).
Stephen is a regular contributor to various publications, and has published widely on a range of peace and security issues.
