Traditional food shortage 

Traditional African societies was stored when the harvest was good. This was to ensure that there was enough food until the next harvest the reserves also ensured that in case there was war or drought the people would have enough food.
Tuber crops like potatoes and cassava were sometimes allowed to remain in the ground during the dry season, these way people were able to dig them up when they needed them.
Grain was stored in granaries which were carefully designed to ensure that the grain was not exposed to moisture or to pest like rats and small insects called weevils. Today few people store their grain in granaries so the european have come to change our traditional to be the modern.
