Nearly 240 million people in sub-Saharan Africa, or one person in every four, lack adequate food for a healthy and active life, and record food prices and drought are pushing more people into poverty and hunger. At the same time, the world's population has now surpassed 7 billion, and news headlines that in the past have asked "Can we feed the world?" are beginning to ask the equally important question, "How many will there be to feed?" In this video, PRB Population, Health, and Environment program director Jason Bremner takes a look at how Africa's population growth will affect food security.
PRB informs people around the world about population, health and the environment, and empowers them to use that information to advance the well-being of current and future generations. Find out more about PRB at our website, www.prb.org.
