I didn't know where to put this so i just decided to put it here. For a school project we had to find a way to try o change things. We decided to use minecraft to spread awareness, using examples and helping to spread helpful ideas and organizations. I am starting a youtube series on it. Our first topic is agriculture and animal husbandry in Africa. If you would like to join you can email me at [email protected]
The problems in Africa have nothing to do with them not having enough farms.
The problems are the warlords and other resource hoarding military powers, their lack of education (Not enough food? LET'S HAVE MORE BABIES TO MAKE ME SEEM MORE PRESTIGIOUS), and the fact that their country is a HORRID place to live in. There isn't a lot of usable farmland, meaning that they can't really grow enough food to support themselves anyways. Plus the fact that they just keep having children in order to show off (really, that's what it boils down to.)
Talking about farming and breeding animals isn't goign to help. We need to just leave them alone until they fix their own problems. The problems in Africa are caused by Africa, and we have no business in getting involved.
Now, if we could educate the people about the fact that you shouldn't have children when you can't feed yourselves (Why would we need to teach them this, really? -_-), educate them in modern technologies/techniques, and maybe do some work to get the warlords shut down, THAT would be a good way to help them. Telling them "Well you should farm more!" isn't goign to help in the slightest.
Anyway, OT:
While I'm not really sure about the whole 'prestigious breeding' thing mentioned earlier, it's true that just talking about it won't do anything. I came from Zimbabwe (look it up, it's not a nice place), and my family left because of the violence problems there, not because we didn't have enough cows.
EDIT: I forgot to mention, your choice of forum section could not be more wrong.

What happens in Africa stays in Africa.
I was born in Africa.
I didn't mean to offend anyone.
It's kk, I actually found it quite funny.

That's what I did first
Regardless, you still posted in the wrong section of this forum.
