AGRF 2012 develops recent global-momentum to deal with global food security. The discussion follows after interactions throughout the recent World Economical Forum on Africa and the G8. Delegate will more interrogate the capacity of Africa's agriculture as an answer to the world food problem. Expectant results from this conference are the formation of public- and-private agriculture alliances, establishing sustainability consortiums which will hopefully provide solutions to the reinforce community food security.
The well known development and sustainability news into Africa's newsroom- mainly issues around agriculture, food security and economic services in the continent.
"This conference thinks that Africa has a potential to feed itself," says Mwichuli, encouraging journalists to forcefully interrogate the G8 agenda and what it brings to Africa's table. "How can you call yourself self-sufficient whenever you rely on somebody else to feed you?" Mwuli questioned, and additional emphasised the political and human right discussion that comes forth from the food security story.
Africa can take wisdom from countries like India, which Two decades ago equally battled and were basket cases with families starving out on the streets, but now
multiplies in Information Communication Technologies (ICTs) as well as capacity to feed its people. The forum therefore sets takes place for African ownership within the next phase of agriculture improvement solutions and steering investment to build a sustainable food secure continent.
Professor Richard Mkawire, Father of the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme answered critical questions through the journalist about Africa's progress on CAADP. Outlining past methods to agriculture development, Mkawire shunned the straight line research and extension model, where farmers are simply targets of change and not active members in the sustainability agenda. "The prevailing levels of hunger in a world who makes enough to feed everybody are not acceptable," said Mkandawire. What Africa needs are interdependent interventions to agricultural development, which Mkandawire advises should include simultaneous robust growth and development of technology, procedures and institutions, national infrastructure markets and human capacity development.
