#food demand

In Kenya, nearly a third of the country's agricultural land is now controlled by individuals living in urban areas, a trend that has developed over the past two decades. This phenomenon is also observed in other African nations such as Ghana, Malawi, Tanzania, and Zambia. Urban residents are increasingly investing in rural farmlands, motivated by rising food prices, liberalized agricultural markets, and the growing demand for food in urbanizing regions, according to The Conversation Africa.
