Across Africa's bustling markets in Nairobi, Lagos, and Accra, shelves are piled high with fresh produce. Despite this apparent abundance, farmers face significant challenges, earning little from their crops. Traders suffer losses as food spoils before reaching consumers, and many families struggle to afford nutritious meals. The continent's food security issue extends beyond the farm, impacting every stage of the supply chain.

Communities and governments are now focusing on reducing food waste and improving distribution to ensure that farmers are better compensated and families have access to affordable, healthy food options. Originally reported by AllAfrica
