Banda district Ghana didn't experience food insecurity until Colonialism

Global food markets have certainly hurt 3rd world farmers.  Sometimes it's just an outcome from markets and the way they work, other times protectionist policies in one country just ruins farming in another.  Read about peanuts, the US and Haiti sometime.  The short of it, we're assholes and protectionism is worse than we thought.

but none of that is why farming has gone to sh**t in the "breadbasket of Africa".
