Food self sufficiency in a poor country, the case of DRC: Family rabbit farming: sustainable solution to malnutrition rural and peri urban areas DRC

In the Democratic Republic of Congo, malnutrition remains one of the major challenges to human development. Despite immense agricultural potential, millions of families still live in food insecurity, particularly in rural and peri-urban areas. This paradox - a country rich in fertile land but poor in quality food - reveals an urgent need to rethink our food production and consumption patterns based on local realities.Food self-sufficiency is not a luxury, but a vital necessity for Congolese families. It represents the ability of households to produce a significant portion of their own food in a sustainable, economical and environmentally friendly manner. In a context of widespread poverty, unemployment and food market instability, this autonomy becomes a real shield against hunger and malnutrition.
