Abstract The issue of hunger and the hungry has been part of the development problematique in developing countries, particularly in Africa. There tends to be in some literature an association between a country's level of socio-economic and political development and its ability to resist the vagaries of nature such as drought, which consequently leads to hunger. Part of this literature points to Africa's inability to successfully embrace modernization - modern farming, harvesting and storage techniques, an inability that then becomes part of the build up of hunger-prone situations.
