West Africa food crisis: Dry times in 2011 threaten ability to plant in 2012
A farmer recounts the struggle to grow food and prepare for the 2012 growing season
West Africa food crisis: Farmers cope with food shortages
Confronted with a poor 2011 harvest, farmers find creative ways to earn money to buy food.
A government decision could mean good news for families in Peru's most polluted town, and for their supporters here in the US. But the struggle to clean up La Oroya is far from over.
In Kolda, Senegal, farmers are struggling to feed their families
The last harvest of peanuts, a major cash crop in this region, plummeted by 60 percent leaving families with little money to buy the food they need.
In Cambodia, System of Rice Intensification helps families climb out of poverty
Low-cost agricultural techniques help a farmer achieve a six-fold increase in annual production in one small field, and become a leader in the community.
Struggle in Sahel: 'If there's no pasture, nothing works'
'We've stayed on our ancestors' land and we've put up with everything, but if rain doesn't come, life would turn into a nightmare," says Koubra Hamid.
As food crisis looms, the lean season hits early in northern Senegal
An Oxfam team assesses the conditions around a group of small villages where many of the food reserves are now exhausted.
Counting on the rain to continue—or weather insurance to help cover losses
For Ethiopian farmer Gidey Mehari, when the opportunity to buy weather insurance for his crops arose, he jumped at the chance.
Doubling his weather insurance, this Ethiopian farmer is happy for the security it provides
"Anything can happen," says Alemu Tadesse. And that's why he is investing in weather insurance for some of his crops.
