Why food security is not an agricultural problem - Limitations of Production

We often describe food security as an agricultural problem. I have come to believe that it is something much bigger. Agriculture is indispensable. Without farmers, there is no food. Yet, through years of working across agricultural value chains and, more recently, through the broader lens of food systems, I have come to appreciate that food security depends on far more than what happens on the farm.

A basket of tomatoes harvested in Kano does not arrive on a family's table in Lagos simply because it was successfully grown. Between production and consumption lies an entire ecosystem of transporters, storage facilities, markets, financiers, logistics providers, infrastructure, information systems and public institutions. Each determines whether food reaches consumers on time, in good condition and at a price they can afford.

Farms produce food. Food systems deliver food security.

Reliable energy preserves food. Efficient logistics move it. Markets connect producers to consumers. Finance unlocks investment. Data improves decision-making. Governance provides the environment within which all these systems operate.

The way we define a problem shapes the solutions we pursue. If food security is viewed only through the lens of agricultural production, increasing output naturally becomes the priority. Production is essential, but it does not explain why food prices remain high despite good harvests, why post-harvest losses persist, or why farmers and consumers can both feel underserved by the same food system.

Countries that have transformed their food systems understood this long ago. Their success was built not only on higher agricultural output, but on sustained investments in infrastructure, logistics, market systems, finance, research, technology and institutions that enabled food to move efficiently from areas of surplus to areas of demand.

Nigeria's challenge is therefore not simply whether we can produce more food. It is whether we can build systems capable of moving, preserving, financing, processing and distributing that food efficiently enough to make it consistently available and affordable.

Looking at food security through this wider lens does not diminish the importance of agriculture. It simply recognizes that agriculture is one part of a much larger system whose strength ultimately determines whether food reaches every household.

In the next article, I will introduce a food security dependency map and explore how energy, infrastructure, logistics, finance, governance, data and markets interact to either reinforce food insecurity or create the conditions for a more resilient food future.

The next round of African billionaires will come out of agriculture.

The next generation of African billionaires is expected to emerge from modern agriculture, not just from raw farming but through industrial-scale, technology-driven agribusiness, processing, and value-chain development.

As noted in "Africa's Next Millionaires Will Come from Modern Agriculture - The Habari Network," the continent holds two-thirds of the world’s arable land and is currently experiencing a rapid shift in investment toward the sector to feed a projected 2.2 billion people by 2050.

Key drivers of this shift toward agricultural wealth include:Value Addition & Processing: Significant wealth is being generated by processing raw materials into finished products (e.g., turning maize into flour, snacks, or feed) rather than just growing them.

Technological Modernization: The shift from subsistence to commercial, technology-enabled farming, including the use of high-quality seeds, fertilizers, and improved storage, is driving efficiency and profitability.

Massive Market Demand: Africa imports billions of dollars of food annually, creating a huge market opportunity for locally produced, cost-effective alternatives.

Leadership Consensus: Prominent figures, including African Development Bank President Dr. Akinwumi Adesina, have frequently stated that the next crop of billionaires will be farmers.

Investment from Existing Billionaires: Major investors like Aliko Dangote are already shifting focus, investing billions into agriculture, specifically in sugar and rice production.The trend suggests that focusing on agribusiness as a "business," rather than just a way of life, will be the primary driver of economic transformation on the continent. According to an article in The Herald Zimbabwe (citing Dr. Akinwumi Adesina), this shift will see agriculture becoming the new "oil" for the continent's wealthiest.The next billionaire in Africa will come from agriculture.28 Feb 2024 — Africa has a ready market and high demand for agricultural produce Agribusiness is one of the best business opportunities in the world as food never goes out of...

THE ANATOMY OF WOMEN’S AVERSION TO POLYGAMY

We often dismiss a woman’s dislike for polygamy as mere jealousy. We call it insecurity. But that is a lazy analysis of human nature.

The aversion is rarely about the law itself. It is about the implications of that law on her safety.

Think about the math of survival. In any economic model, when you increase the divisor, the quotient decreases. To a woman, a husband represents a finite set of resources. His time is limited. His emotional bandwidth is capped. His finances are numbered.

When a second partner enters the equation, the math guarantees a reduction. It is not selfishness to protect the provision that ensures your survival and the survival of your children. It is instinct.

Then there is the fear of replacement.

Men often view polygamy as expansion. They are simply adding a new wing to the mansion. But women often view it as a renovation. They fear that the old furniture is being cleared out for the new.

The deepest psychological fear isn't just sharing the man. It is becoming obsolete to him. In a world that idolizes newness, the fear of being "the old wife" is a rational terror.

Monogamy provides a unique psychological luxury. It is the luxury of not being compared.

Polygamy removes that safety. It introduces a daily, silent metric. Who did he smile at more today? Who got the better gift? Who is he happier to see?

It forces a woman into an involuntary competition for affection in her own home. It takes immense spiritual strength to silence the voice that constantly asks, "Am I no longer enough?"

We have to be honest about the verdict.

Women do not hate God’s permission. They fear man’s execution.

They have seen too many examples where "Sunnah" was used as a disguise for neglect. They have seen justice promised but never delivered.

Until men master the duty of protection as well as they have mastered the right of marriage, the fear will remain valid.

Allah knows best.

[A.Y.O @YusufAsunmogejo]

To answer this question, we must understand that this issue goes beyond morality; it is a classic legal case of انفكاك الجهة (The Separation of Aspects). And this is why we have to separate the ritual itself from the money used to fund it.

This distinction leads us to the critical difference between: صحة العبادة (Validity of Worship) and قبول العبادة (Acceptance of Worship).

In Islamic Jurisprudence, there is a governing maxim in Usul al-Fiqh that states:

لا تلازم بين الصحة والقبول
(Validity does not necessitate Acceptance).

This means it is intellectually and legally possible for an act of worship to be valid in the eyes of the Law—meaning the person does not have to repeat it—yet completely rejected in the eyes of God.

So, in this case, if a person performs Umrah with illicit funds, the majority of scholars argue that the ritual is valid provided the physical actions are performed correctly. If she performs the rituals correctly, then this satisfies the condition of صحة العبادة (Validity). It simply means the legal obligation is discharged, the debt is paid, and she does not have to go back and redo the Umrah.

However, the tragedy lies in the reward. The Prophet (peace be upon him) established a universal standard when he said:

إن الله طيب لا يقبل إلا طيبا
(Verily, Allah is Pure and He accepts only that which is Pure).

So, when the money is impure, the spiritual connection is severed.

This exact paradox was clarified by the renowned Maliki scholar, Al-Ubayy in his famous commentary on Sahih Muslim titled: إكمال الإكمال

While explaining the Hadith of the traveller, he stated that if someone performs Hajj with unlawful money, the Hajj is valid and fulfils the obligation, but there is no reward for it.

This also aligns with the narration where the Prophet (peace be upon him) described a person traveling with Haram provisions. When such a person calls out "Here I am, O Lord," the response from the Heavens is:

لا لبيك ولا سعديك... وحجك مردود عليك
(No welcome to you, no pleasure... and your Hajj is rejected upon you).

So, the verdict is a paradox. She has technically satisfied the Fiqh (Law) by performing the motions, but she has failed the Adab (Etiquette) with Allah. She returns with the title of a pilgrim, but likely with an empty account. It is a transaction with zero profit.

Allah knows best.

[A.Y.O @YusufAsunmogejo]

I saw this tweet earlier today and I intentionally ignored it. But right now, I am compelled to say something about it.

Her sentiment sounds fair just to let her know from the start. But it rests on two fundamental errors about how men and marriage work.

First, The Standard Agreement.

In an Islamic marriage contract, polygamy is not a "hidden fee" or a surprise add-on. It is the baseline reality.

When you sign a Nikah, you are signing a contract that—which by Divine Law—already includes the permission for plurality. A man does not need to "disclose" a right that the Quran has already announced to the world.

The burden of transparency is not on the man to declare he might use his right. The burden is on the woman to stipulate if she cannot handle that right. If you want a modification of the standard contract, you must ask for it. Silence is acceptance of the terms.

Second, The Reality of Growth.

This tweet assumes that a man at 25 knows exactly who he will be at 45. It assumes that if a man takes a second wife later, he was "hiding" his intention from the start. That is rarely true.

Men evolve. The man you marry today is not the man you will live with in twenty years. His capacity will change. His wealth will change. His social responsibilities will change.

A man who says "I am monogamous" at the start is often speaking his truth at that moment. He is not lying. He just hasn't grown into the version of himself that requires or can support expansion yet.

To call growth "betrayal" is to misunderstand the nature of time.

We need to stop teaching women to rely on "verbal assurances" and start teaching them to rely on written conditions.

If you cannot bear the heat of the general contract, build a shelter in the clauses. Do not blame the sun for shining.

Allah knows best.
