East Africa Food Crisis Grows from Dry Soils

Drought is apparent across much of East Africa after seasonal rains in late 2018 and 2019 failed to deliver much moisture to the region. The dearth of precipitation has contributed to a crisis for food security; that is, people may at times lack access to sufficient food.

Deficits in rainfall eventually show up as deficits in soil moisture. Read the story from NASA research data, from their Earth Observatory.
