Hunger and malnutrition in Africa have been on the increase since 1960's reaching a climax in the 1980's when over 150 million people were affected by one form or another. Methods so far used to solve the problem do not seem to succeed, but the scientists and leaders in Africa could now take the opportunity to consider and act on the problem in their own way. The formation of an African food and nutrition group to work with others on the problems, could give an impetus to this kind of initiative. A call is made to all African food and nutrition workers to combine efforts to harness Africa resources, which have not been fully utilized in solving the problem.
自20世纪60年代以来，非洲的饥饿和营养不良状况一直在加剧，并在20世纪80年代达到顶峰，当时超过1.5亿人受到了某种形式的影响。迄今为止用于解决该问题的方法似乎并未成功，但非洲的科学家和领导人现在可以借此机会以自己的方式思考并应对这一问题。成立一个非洲食品和营养小组，与其他方面共同解决这些问题，可能会推动此类倡议。呼吁所有非洲食品和营养工作者共同努力，利用非洲尚未在解决该问题中得到充分利用的资源。
