In Africa, the threat of climate change is particularly felt in the drylands where water scarcity and unpredictable rainfall patterns are a major challenge to food security. Dryland Cereals and Legumes (DCL) crops, especially sorghum, Millets, pigeon peas, Chickpeas, Groundnuts, cowpeas, play a crucial role in mitigating the effects of climate change in these areas. 

African food heritage is a rich and diverse part of our continent's cultural heritage. From the savory stews of West Africa to the spicy curries of East Africa, indigenous African food has been enjoyed for generations.
