Ethiopia prepares to prevent recurrence of famine
2003
In the early 1980s, sub-Saharan Africa suffered a severe drought which led to the starvation of millions of people, especially in Ethiopia where it was made worse by war. Since 1984, ICARDA has been working with Ethiopian researchers to improve the nutrition, income, and well-being of farm families and the rural poor in the country. This is being achieved through development of improved crop varieties and production technologies suitable for the agroclimatic conditions in the country, and through training, information exchange, and institutional capacity building. Ethiopia now stands better prepared to successfully manage famine, if it were to threaten again
