Poverty and poor education are key determinants of high household food insecurity among populations adjoining forest concessions in the Congo Basin por Donn, P., Ngondi, J.L., Chupezi Tieguhong, J., Midoko Iponga, D., Tchingsabe, O., Fungo, R., Tchatat, M., Kahindo, J.M.

“…In the DRC (92.9 %) and Gabon (92.7 %), almost all the survey households were categorized as either moderately or severely food insecure; clearly elucidating the existence of severe insufficiency in the quantity and quality of food meant for human nutrition in these areas. The means of household food insecurity scores for the DRC (17.40 ± 4.15) and Gabon (14.9 ± 5.87) were significantly higher when compared to the average score for Cameroon ((7.55 ± 6.62) at p < 0.0001. …”

The importance of on-farm biosecurity: Sero-prevalence and risk factors of bacterial and viral pathogens in smallholder pig systems in Uganda por Dione, Michel M., Masembe, C., Akol, Joyce, Amia, Winfred C., Kungu, J., Hu Suk Lee, Wieland, Barbara

“…Conclusions The studied pathogens have high prevalences in smallholder pig production systems and might be silent killers, thus affecting productivity and there is a possibility that some pathogens could spread to humans. Given the limited knowledge of veterinary workers and the poor diagnostic capacities and capabilities in these systems, the diseases are potentially usually under-diagnosed. …”
