  • This is an article from a trusted news source, so it should be an accurate representation of the events and data. It covers a recent event that pertains to the topic of the article, or a recent food security crisis caused by climate change.

  • This is an article published in a peer-reviewed journal, so it should be a reliable source. It covers a wide range of topics adjacent to the article, but for a specific region in Africa. Therefore, it useful for regional information across many sections of the article.

Outline of proposed changes

• I plan to re-write the article so it is more straight forward and informational, instead of opinionative or argumentative in nature.
• The article identifies broad examples for how climate change effects food security in Africa, but does not include very much regional specificity, and is lacking a discussion of any current food security crises.
  • The following articles were chosen to provide regional specificity to the discussion of climate change and food security:
    • Maisharou, A., P.W. Chirwa, M. Larwanou, F. Babalola, and C. Ofoegbu. “Sustainable Land Management Practices in the Sahel: Review of Practices, Techniques and Technologies for Land Restoration and Strategy for up-Scaling.” The International Forestry Review 17 (2015): 1–19.
    • Bele, Mekou Y., Denis J. Sonwa, and Anne M. Tiani. “Local Communities Vulnerability to Climate Change and Adaptation Strategies in Bukavu in DR Congo.” The Journal of Environment & Development 23, no. 3 (2014): 331–57.
  • The following sources include examples of recent or current climate change/ food security crises in Africa:
    • Dahir, Abdi Latif. “First Official Estimate of Somalia’s Drought Shows 43,000 Dead.” The New York Times, March 20, 2023, sec. World. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/20/world/africa/somalia-drought-death-famine.html.
    • FAO. 2021. The impact of disasters and crises on agriculture and food security: 2021. Rome. https://doi.org/10.4060/cb3673en
  • The following sources will be used to try to fill the lack of citable evidence in the article, they provide important metrics on food security in Africa, and important information about how it relates to climate change:
    • FAO. 2021. The impact of disasters and crises on agriculture and food security: 2021. Rome. https://doi.org/10.4060/cb3673en
