Barriers to Free Moving of Food in Kenya

 

It should be highlighted that one of the most important problems facing the modern world is Agriculture and Food Security. 

 

By supplying food to locations where people lack access to it, organisations like the World Health Organization and United Nations work to alleviate this issue. It is important to emphasise that the way food is distributed throughout the world, rather than the quantity of items accessible to nations, is the root of the problem. 

 


In Kenya, some significant barriers to route to food initiative are:

 

First, a basic reason why diverse population groups experience food insecurity is weak infrastructure. It is challenging to carry food to people in some areas of the nation due to poor road conditions. Due to potholes, several parts of the nation are almost inaccessible. Short-lived products are particularly affected by this problem.

 

Another obstacle to efficient food distribution is political instability. Because of the lack of safety, food systems in Kenya are hesitant to deliver food aid to those in need. Also, corruption affects both the nation as a whole and its citizens. As a result, the population suffers from chronic food insecurity, in which year-round interruptions in consumption are brought on by an inability to get or produce the necessary quantity of food.

 

When referring to Kenya, food insecurity results from the physical and financial scarcity of food, especially in the nation's least developed regions.
