Missing food -- the case of post-harvest grain losses in sub-Saharan AfricaDec 07, 2011 This video was released upon the launching of the new FAO/World Bank report Missing Food: The Case of Postharvest Grain Losses in Sub-Saharan Africa. As in the report (produced in collaboration with the UK's Natural Resources Institute) the video makes the case that investing in post-harvest technologies to reduce food losses could significantly address food security concerns in sub-Saharan Africa through increasing food availabilities and reducing pressure on food prices and land and water resources. It highlights the high levels of post-harvest grain losses in sub-Saharan Africa underscoring that these losses: are worth around $4 billion a year; could meet the minimum annual food requirements of at least 48 million people; and are roughly equivalent to the value of annual cereal imports in the region. The video then presents a variety of practices and technologies which are available for reducing post-harvest losses, and identifies conditions for their successful application. © FAO www.fao.org

SOUNDBITE (English) Patrick Kabambe, Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Local Government: We need to tackle the problems of the inconsistent rainfall patterns and the solution was through irrigation development, but secondly it was to address the problem of imports; that is why the government came up with a subsidy program.

Food For Work Beneficiary FeedbackJan 23, 2011 Mukandori Consalate—a beneficiary of Help Channel's food for work reforestation project in Burundi—discusses the success of the project's simultaneous focus on hunger alleviation and environmental restoration. Mukandori has a borderline food consumption score and said that in order to cope with hunger she has resorted to consuming seeds, sending her children to beg for food, and reducing the number of meals she eats per day. She does not own any livestock, though she views livestock ownership as one of the most important elements of long-term food security; she worked 28 days in the project. The project was supported by the Canadian Food Grain Bank and Mennonite Central Committee. This video was recorded using a mobile data collection tool called EthnoCorder (www.ethnocorder.com).
