Agrobiology in African Food Systems

Audace Cintije's "Agrobiology in African Food Systems: African food challenges" explores the profound issues at stake in the food crisis on the African continent. Through a critical reading of industrialized agricultural systems, the author argues for a structural transformation towards agroecological models rooted in local knowledge, biodiversity, food sovereignty and social justice. The book analyzes the causes of malnutrition, rural poverty and climate vulnerability, while presenting concrete alternatives from the field, notably in Burundi, Senegal and Ethiopia. It highlights the central role of women, young people and indigenous peoples in this transition. Through structured chapters, it proposes a vision of a sustainable, fair, inclusive and resilient food system, supported by local markets, food education and favorable public policies. A true call to action, the book invites citizens, decision-makers and producers to commit themselves to a nourishing and sovereign Africa.
