Hunger in Eden

The BBC published this set of photos recently which helps visually explain why there is hunger in SW CAR despite the conditions for productive agriculture. I will be heading to CAR shortly to help get the new CEFA project up and running. CEFA, or Centre d'Experimentation et de Formation Agricole will be an experimentation and demonstration farm that will help people in south west CAR to be more productive farmers. We will also be demonstrating and training people in the production of more nutritious crops such as legumes, vegetables and peanuts.
