I think the best way is to focus on the traditional foods that we used to grow and especially in Africa.

I don't see why we should engage in planting trees in large acreages only for them to be cut down later on and be used as raw material! It pains me to see that even after all the efforts NEMA has put in place for the traditional trees to be planted so as to attract rain and also provide the medicinal value. It is a pity that most Kenyans, Africans and the world at large cannot see the effect of these on the environment. What we need is education and we really need to educate our people!

We have to blame the current looming food crisis on ourselves, for listening and following the people telling us to plant exotic trees when we know very well they cannot but only bring about drought! For being selfish enough to plant them and sell them hence even creating a worse case scenario of drought!

Apart from all these we need to realize that before us there were our forefathers and they had a way of coping with all these and until we go back to our roots and take back with us what is good, the food crisis will continue! And even worse still we will perish!
