Malawi, already struggling with flooding from heavy rains, has declared 20 districts disaster areas after infestations of crop munching fall armyworm threatened food security.

The pest, whose infestation has erupted across Africa including Zambia, Zimbabwe and South Africa, has broken out in 20 of Malawi's 28 districts, affecting thousands of hectares of farmlands and posing a risk to food security.

"It is clear that we have a serious crop pest infestation that is posing a major threat to food security in the country likely to affect a majority of our fellow citizens," said the presidency in a statement.

Half of Malawi's maize has been infected by crop-munching pest by October, a senior government official said during a UN Food and Agriculture Organization meeting in Johannesburg last month.

Government has rolled out pesticides, installed pheromone traps and intensified training and awareness campaigns to contain the infestation's spread, which has primarily affected maize, sorghum and millet crops.

THEY HAVE BOUGHT INTO WESTERN BIG AG PRACTICES AND CREATED DISASTERS FOR THEIR NATIONS

if you do that you need to be constantly on the chemical/research/pesticide/GMO biological ball. there is no African country with that kind of scientific infrastructure.

so when they do western agriculture and create all manner of environmental disturbances they do not have the means first to monitor and know whats has happened and why...and to develop the means to correct the disturbances.

they attacked the army worms..the army worms developed resistance to all they have thrown at them for a long time..a chemical soup. and now nothing can kill it..and it is eating everything in sight.

they have to develop an organic agriculture...using technologies they can control and develop because they are cost effective and can grown an infrastructure of research and development at cost as they go along. those technologies would seek to destroy no life form but to balance them all out so that in between great sustainable harvests can be achieved.

but why are they not doing these things??????

ok..what ?????
