Soomaali Inkaar bu ku dhacday
Will I see a day when Somalis are food secure? You have two rivers, huge coastline and wide arable land and good climate. We need rain conservation, dams (fanoole should be rebuilt), drip irrigations,etc..
Support your local farmers and stop building useless shit.
@Prince Abubu weren't you thinking of growing olives/lemons/grapes throughout the north? we should diversify our crops and industralise asap.

Pearl millet, a drought tolerant crop should be grown throughout the dryer parts of the nation.
Likewise with Sorghum
Can Somalia feed itself? of-course
but there are many factors preventing such a thing.

Hobyo District and Galmudug in general has a lot of green areas that aren't nearly utilised to their potential.
So it's renewable energy and agricultural technology that I'll be focusing in after my studies. Future looks bright mashaallah

Galmudug local farms
Somalia needs to diversify it's agriculture crops throughout the region. When you think about it ,Somalia has no right not to be food sufficient.
Aid is a disease, i believe that all Somali People need to establish a volunteer system in which capable young Somali men volunteer for the nation once a week building roads amd helping at Farms.
It would help the country and educate the youth.

There isn't enough rain to farm without irrigation in Somalia...Even the river regions.
The only major surface water resources are the two rivers that could barely irrigate 800k hectares of land.
The reason that there aren't many large commercial farms in Somalia is because the smart people have realised that it isn't worth it.
To make farming profitable; you need a whole industry to provide infrastructure at scale. For example; cold chain storage, logistics and etc.
If we had enough water for a few million hectares then it would be worth investing in the infrastructure to make it work.
Either invent cheap desalination (>500 watts/ cubic meter) or produce other goods you could use for foreign currency to import food. Only two options for Somalia.
Alternatively... move the mountain ranges in Ethiopia to remove the rain shadow that's preventing rain in the Horn of Africa.

Even if there was no aid, Somali farmers in the future would not be able to grow enough food to feed even 50% of Somalia's population. With a TFR of 6, it is hard to see how even breakneck increases in yields will be able to keep up with this growth rate. The main contraint will be water as Ethiopia abstracts more water from the Shabelle river. This will mean that the biggest food producing region in Somalia, Lower Shabelle, may become a dry land farming region in 20 years. Somalia's food production will keep shifting west out of Lower Shabelle and into Middle Shabelle and Hiraan as Godey region of DDSI develops more irrigation capacity, a truly zero sum outcome.
@RasCanjero already said what I wanted to say.

If Israel can survive, I'm sure we can too.
Oh wait...the Jews are actually intelligent. Never mind.

The shabelle and Jubba river if damed will forever provide water for farming, I know u want and pray that the rivers stay empty (due to ur sick qabiilists way) but it's not gonna happen.

He wants it to happen because apparently "Darood" benefit.
Lol, he's a clown walahi, he'll forever stay mad.
Finally something positive.
But here we go again with "Blame".

The problem is that we actually address and debate these type of people like they are normal. The solution to them is a bullet through the head if they gain power/influence.
What confuses me is that he has Farmaajo as his DP
Welcome back bro

Unlike Reer Somaliland who are honest and straightforward, these people are deceitful and want to be an independent nation all whilst being part of Somalia.What confuses me is that he has Farmaajo as his DP
The only thing I liked about HSM was that he put these ppl in there place and had them crying,

I agree. Farmaajo is too weak on them.
