Land is believed to be a spiritual holding- both by ancestors and the living. It is a spirituality that pays homage to ancestral spirits.

Most of the sub-Saharan African population still lives in the rural areas and not in the cities. Land, therefore, becomes one of the most explosive issues amongst Africans, as it is tied directly to food security and livelihoods.

If done well, investments in agriculture could help with African hunger but create food security for the rest of the world. Is land supposed to be spiritually preserved to the detriment of food security in the continent.

“Our Heritage is a program that seeks to promote and accommodate the debates regarding the preservation of our rich natural and cultural heritage, which is so often threatened by ignorance or avarice. Africa needs to champion its own cause by sustaining the indigenous knowledge systems that exist within the African people themselves. We will also engage intellectuals who will build on scientific facts.”
