Unfortunately, many farming practices in Africa are based on monoculture, so if a disease or a drought hits a key growing region, the entire system suffers. Incorporating indigenous vegetables into our local farming system can disrupt this pattern. The shift toward farm diversification has its share of challenges, of course.
