Description
INTRODUCTION The right to food is a universal one-a right that more than 854 million people worldwide are actually deprived of (Grassmann and Manniged, 2008). Highlighting the views of UN's Food and Agriculture, Fleshman (2008) opines that increased consumption, climate change and growing use of agricultural produce for fuel may mean that the era of cheap global grain supplies is over for good. At present, consumers in many parts of Africa have started turning to locally grown foods as import prices rise (Fleshman, 2008). This is, however, a new challenge that can influence food security. An alternative source of food will be of tremendous advantage, particularly for the poor and play significant role in times of famine and insecurity or when food supply mechanisms are disrupted and people have limited access to food (Grassmann and Manniged, 2008).
