Besides the threat posed to food insecurity in Africa by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, parts of the continent are also experiencing drought and conflict. In parts of northern Nigeria, for instance, production has been negatively affected by a lack of security, which has left some farmers without access to their land. The country has intervened by arming and training agro-rangers, who patrol certain areas in an effort to provide farmers, such as the one pictured here, with the security they require to resume production.
