Farmers in sub-Saharan Africa need to diversify away from growing maize and switch to crops that are resilient to climate change<\/a> to increase nutrition security.<\/p>\n Instead of maize, farmers should begin to grow fruits, vegetables, and crops like cassava, millet, and sorghum to provide the micronutrients essential for good health.<\/p>\n The researchers argue that the quantity of food produced must also increase, and more land must be brought into agricultural production.<\/p>\n More than 50 researchers contributed to the investigation, published in the scientific journal Nature Food. <\/em>The study involved talking to policymakers and other\u202fstakeholders in the food and agriculture sectors in four countries in sub-Saharan Africa: Malawi, South Africa,\u202fTanzania,\u202fand Zambia.<\/p>\nSub-Saharan Africa is at risk of food and nutrition insecurity<\/h3>\n
