Abstract

Diverse technologies exist in Africa that could ensure adequate food security (when all people at all times have access to sufficient, safe, nutritious food to maintain a healthy and active life) in the continent. These technologies range from mechanical technology to biological and biochemical technology, biotechnology and nanotechnology as well as indigenous technology options. The article examines the potentials and opportunities offered by these technologies in addressing the persisting food security challenges in the continent.
