In West Africa the consumption of rice is growing, especially in the urban areas. Very large quantities of rice are imported, in spite of the fact that the region has the capacity to produce all the rice it needs to feed its population. It has both sufficient water and land. But it still requires a resolute farm and food policy. The articles under this heading give an account of the region's current policies and progress, with special emphasis on the right to Food sovereignty.
