“…Sejarah mencatat bahwa wabah penyakit dapat berpengaruh terhadap produksi bahan pangan. Wabah flu burung atau flu babi Afrika yang terjadi pada tahun 2000an misalnya secara langsung mengurangi produksi makanan yang bersumber dari hewan karena wabah tersebut berpengaruh terhadap sektor peternakan (McElwain & Thumbi, 2017;Ntsomboh-Ntsefong et al, 2017).…”

Sejak Maret 2020 Indonesia dinyatakan sebagai wilayah yang terdampak pandemi Covid-19. Virus Corona sebagai penyebab pandemi yang pertama kali ditemukan di Wuhan, China, dengan cepat menyebar ke seluruh dunia seperti Italia, India, Iran dan Indonesia. Kondisi tersebut telah menempatkan sejumlah negara di dunia, termasuk Indonesia, pada gerbang resesi ekonomi. Sejumlah kebijakan telah ditempuh Pemerintah Indonesia, antara lain menunjuk Menteri Pertahanan untuk menjaga ketahanan pangan nasional agar dapat bertahan dari resesi yang berpotensi datang melalui program food estate di Kalimantan Tengah. Atas dasar itulah, penelitian ini mengkaji pengembangan food estate di Kalimantan Tengah sebagai alternatif menjaga ketahanan pangan di tengah pandemi Covid-19 melalui tiga perspektif, yaitu ekonomi, politik, dan keamanan. Pembahasan dilakukan secara kualitatif dengan pendekatan epistemologis berdasarkan empat pilar ketahanan pangan yang ditetapkan oleh Organisasi Pangan dan Pertanian Dunia (FAO), yaitu ketersediaan, akses, pemanfaatan, dan stabilitas.

“…Cassava mosaic and brown streak virus are the major diseases affecting cassava (Manihot esculenta), the main food crop in the Great Lakes region of East and South Africa, while the fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda) is the major pest of maize (Zea mays) and sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) in South Sudan (FAO, 2018). Bird Flu (Avian influenza) caused huge economic losses for poultry farmers in many African countries during the 2006-2008 and 2015-2017 outbreaks (Otekunrin, 2007;Ntsomboh-Ntsefong et al, 2017;Fasanmi et al, 2018;Otekunrin et al, 2018).…”

<p>Sustainable Development Goal 2 (SDG 2) is hinged on achieving zero hunger target globally by 2030. Many developing countries, especially African countries, are challenged with extreme hunger that are often caused or compounded by bad governance, conflicts and climate change. In this paper, we assess Africa’s readiness towards attaining the zero hunger target by 2030 in the face of COVID-19 pandemic. Patterns of Global Hunger Index (GHI) and each of its indicators across Africa are compared before the pandemic (2000-2019). The effect of the pandemic on the hunger situation in Africa is discussed by highlighting the mitigating measures put in place by selected African governments. We have found that most African countries have recorded steady reduction in their child mortality rates but high prevalence of undernourishment, stunting and child wasting indicates significant challenges hampering the achievement of the zero hunger target. The study recommends that African governments should prioritize sustainable agricultural practices and give serious attention to the formulation and implementation of policies that reduce hunger against the COVID-19 pandemic.</p>

Tackling hunger is a challenge for many African governments because of its endemic nature on the continent. Many African countries have found it difficult to achieve significant reductions in hunger and malnutrition since 1990. In this paper, we review the progress of African countries in the fight against hunger over the past three decades, using the Global Hunger Index (GHI) scores. Ghana had the best GHI improvement (-53.1%) while Zimbabwe and Central African Republic had slightly increased GHI scores (+1.6%). Within this time period, few countries had significant reductions in their GHI scores, while some suffered increases. Furthermore, in assessing the three indicators of GHI: (i) prevalence of undernourishment (percent population), (ii) prevalence of stunting in children (%) and (iii) prevalence of wasting in children (%), we found that no country in Africa was able to achieve all three targets. Six countries (Tunisia, Ghana, South Africa, Morocco, Mauritius and Algeria) were able to achieve targets for two of these while the majority achieved only one. We present country-level evidence of clear links between GHI scores with score for human development, social protection and terrorism. Some challenges that made the zero hunger target a difficult task in Africa are reviewed while opportunities for moving the continent towards the zero-hunger target by 2030 are also explored.
