Finding the means and the motivation (Africa in Search of Answers from within)

New motives leading to new developments. For a long time Africa has largely practised subsistence farming. The result has been disastrous. With fast growing populations, many African countries have repeatedly experienced hunger and poverty. Relief food supplies have had to be sourced from outside the continent. There are today, however, right across Africa, emerging developments that demonstrate how a continent can be lifted out of poverty.
