The United Nations has warned that food insecurity is threatening nearly 40 countries across the globe with more than three quarter of them in Africa. According to the Food and Agriculture Organizations Crop Prospects and Food Situation Report civil conflicts, adverse weather and the Ebola outbreak are some of the root causes of the food insecurity.
