Africa Should Be Afraid: A Food Plate Of Hazards And Biomass As A Solution

Abstract

Sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) measures are risk-reducing measures aimed at the protection of food safety, plant and animal health, and the natural environment. In the case of agricultural and food exports in particular, compliance with technical requirements is a prerequisite of successful export trade. The danger associated with inorganic farming was what birthed organic agriculture; while this has been around for decades, the prevalence of it in Africa as a continent has been poor due to some factors. Despite the obvious presence of organic farming, there is need for the inhabitants of the continent to be afraid of the food in circulation as majority of the produce termed ‘organic’ are indeed far from it. As many African countries are trying to match up with developed countries in fighting global contemporary issues such as climate change, terrorism, disease outbreak among other threats to humanity; there is an issue, faceless and mighty in disguise, armed without guns and ammunition already harming humans and silently causing the death of millions; consumption of “inorganic organic” food (A food plate of hazard) [1].
