dc.description.abstract | Food security is basic to the survival of any nation, not to mention any
family or individual. Accordingly, within the list of national, family or
individual goals, that of food security should have top priority since no
meaningful development in economic, social or cultural spheres is
possible without food security. An economy based on agriculture, as is the
case in Kenya, must allocate sufficient resources to its agricultural sector
to ensure that national food security is achieved, through self-sufficiency
in the production of basic food commodities and the generation of foreign
exchange which can be used for the importation of other foods, and the
occasional importation of basic food when the need arises. | en |
