Read the passage below carefully:
'For centuries, fonio—a nutrient-rich, drought-resistant cereal crop native to the West African Sahel—was relegated to marginal land and often dismissed as a secondary food source. However, as erratic rainfall patterns and prolonged dry spells increasingly jeopardize staple crops like maize and rice across West Africa, agronomists are urging a return to indigenous grains. Fonio matures rapidly within six to eight weeks, requires minimal fertilizer, and thrives in poor, sandy soils where conventional crops fail. In countries such as Guinea, Mali, and Burkina Faso, local farming cooperatives have begun adopting mechanized processing equipment to eliminate the arduous traditional hand-pounding method that previously limited large-scale production. Despite these technological improvements and growing urban demand for gluten-free grains, funding for fonio research remains significantly lower than that allocated to imported cereals. Experts argue that prioritizing investment in local grain supply chains is essential for long-term food security across the region.'

Read the passage below carefully:
Coastal mangrove forests along the Niger Delta provide critical protection against shoreline erosion while serving as vital breeding grounds for marine life. In recent years, community-led reforestation initiatives have successfully planted over 100,000 mangrove saplings across degraded zones. These projects not only stabilize fragile coastlines but also restore local fish stocks, thereby improving the livelihoods of coastal fishing families. Furthermore, scientific monitoring shows a forty percent increase in crustacean populations in reforested areas compared to unplanted zones.
