Thanks for this thoughtful piece, Chris!
I have been surprised at the relatively slow spread of COVID-19 in Africa; it is still mainly us in South Africa, plus Egypt, Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia, though I see Nigeria and Ghana are also hotting up a bit.
I think where we need to put a lot of attention is on nutrition education and helping people to grow food and develop local organic food systems (New book “Organic Food Systems: Meeting the Needs of Southern Africa.” Download the open access e-book now, free of charge, at: http://www.cabi.org/bookshop/book/9781786399601).
Thank You Chris. Your point on water very critical, avoiding unrests is another major task that government and other community leaders should strive to avoid.
Any unrest will reverse the already struggling economy down
I think its important to encourage urban farming o supplement food. There are many flexible methods that could be adopted with minimal final injection
