The Impact of Rural Migration to the Urban Areas

Living in the rural areas infer that they are almost cut off from most government services and provision such as security, educational facilities, medical supplies, electricity etcetera. Due to the absence of these basic social amenities, there has been huge migration of many people living in rural areas to urban areas, like Mogadisho, Hargeisa, Garoowe etcetera, and this has caused economic breakdown, decreased the livestock, destroyed the value of society, and shattered the Somali culture and heritage.

More so, migration has cause inconvenience humans at large. For example, some big cities have become overcrowded, unemployment rate is day-by-day increasing, gangster ism, robbery and violence have become the order of the day, traffic congestion, and global warming is on the increase every hour, and the likes. In addition to this, deforestation for domestic use most especially among the Somali populace is skyrocketing. This has caused environmental degradation, global warming and climate change, decreased rainfall, etcetera.

 Consequently, this has brought repetitive droughts every year most especially in the Somali regions of the Horn of Africa, which in turn has sprung up death rate of both humans and other living organisms. More importantly, livestock play significant roles in the life of Somali people living in rural areas, so the death of these animal caused by drought led to mass relocation to big cities with basic means of survival. This is why some of the turn to unemployment or unavoidable burdens to city dwellers

Finally, I should suggest the consuming Somali traditional foods is very fundamental solution and big encouragement Somali agriculturists and pastoralists to produce more since there would then be a market for their goods. hopefully, the governments would discover new approaches of combining the agricultural system and pastoralist system (i.e agro-pastoralism).This approach would help in eradicating illiteracy and poverty.

HOW TO ADDRESS FOOD-SUSTAINABILITY CHALLENGES IN SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA

Despite its huge agricultural potential, Africa spends around US$35bn each year on food imports. This number may rise above US$110bn by 2025 due to rapid population growth, changes in dietary habits and the increasingly severe impacts of climate change. The lack of food sustainability, as well as food and nutrition insecurity in sub-Saharan Africa, is likely to aggravate unless bold action is taken on six key issues. The need to boost farming productivity First, smallholder farmers’ productivity has to rise significantly, as a large majority of Africans rely on agriculture for their livelihoods. African crop yields are amongst the lowest in the world due to poor seeds and degraded soils, a lack of fertiliser and other essential inputs, and insufficient mechanisation and transport infrastructure. A shift from farming as a subsistence activity to farming as a business is needed and has to be matched with the right set of policies, institutions and investments. Encou...
