Why we embarked on food security with maize:

According to Oklahoma State University:
1. by 2050 there will be 9.1 billion people in the world;
2. 95% of this population growth will be in developing countries like Nigeria where Mbaise belongs;
3. Food production MUST increase by 70% to contain this population increase;
4. maize and its by-products, especially when fortified with Vitamin A can feed human beings and animals. Maize is cheap to plant and easy to cook.
Let us start with the simplest food!
