Food security has always been a major challenge for many African governments, and even today several African countries suffer from food insecurity.

Food deficits, high food prices, drought, and the lack of efficient agricultural infrastructure  have often been the cause of many tensions in various African countries, which have since been experiencing serious political instability. To combat these scourges, CIPINA, through its development cooperation projects, will attempt to provide Africa with enough quality food products to guarantee decent living conditions for families suffering from food insecurity through more profitable exports. However, this objective will only be achieved if significant advocacy is deployed in terms of agricultural practices. Sustainable development in Africa will not happen if African leaders do not make agriculture  an absolute priority .
