This study aims to explore the challenges and opportunities associated with achieving food security and promoting sustainable agriculture in Africa. With a focus on policy interventions, technological advancements, and community-level practices, the study examines how these elements can be integrated to address hunger, malnutrition, and agricultural productivity in the continent. Africa faces a profound food security crisis characterized by high levels of hunger, malnutrition, and vulnerability to climate change. Despite being home to some of the world’s most fertile land, the continent struggles with low agricultural productivity, inefficient food systems, and inadequate access to resources, leading to persistent food insecurity. The problem is further exacerbated by climate change, poor infrastructure, and gender inequality, particularly among smallholder farmers, the majority of whom are women. Addressing these issues requires comprehensive and sustainable solutions that are both regionally focused and globally aligned. This study contributes to the understanding of how Africa can overcome its food security challenges through a combination of climate-smart agriculture, gender-sensitive policies, regional trade integration, and technological innovation. By providing practical recommendations and policy frameworks, the study highlights the critical role of smallholder farmers, the diaspora, and governmental stakeholders in achieving the Sustainable Development Goal of Zero Hunger (SDG 2). The study also emphasizes the need for strategic investments in agriculture, infrastructure, and education, which can significantly enhance food systems' resilience and sustainability. The study employs a systematic literature review methodology, analyzing both recent and older sources on food security, agricultural practices, and policy frameworks in Africa. A combination of qualitative analysis and case studies is used to assess successful agricultural interventions across different African regions. The review is structured around several key themes, including climate adaptation strategies, gender equality in agriculture, food trade integration, and technological advancements. In addition, a comparative analysis of policies in different African countries offers insights into best practices and areas for improvement. The study concludes that food security in Africa can be achieved through a multi-faceted approach that includes climate-resilient farming, gender equality, financial inclusion, and regional cooperation. By empowering smallholder farmers, particularly women, and investing in innovative agricultural technologies, Africa can increase food production, reduce malnutrition, and build more sustainable food systems. Collaborative efforts from governments, the private sector, and the diaspora are essential for transforming Africa’s agricultural sector and ensuring long-term food security. With focused attention on policy reforms, research innovation, and community empowerment, Africa has the potential to overcome its current food security challenges and build a more resilient, equitable, and sustainable future.
