MR. KOFI ANNAN TO ADDRESS GLOBAL FOOD CRISIS, ITS IMPACT AND SOLUTIONS IN AFRICA
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

Global food prices have doubled in the last three years, and the cereal bill for low-income food-deficit countries in Africa is projected to increase another 74 percent this year. Across sub-Saharan Africa , 33 million young children are malnourished, even as food riots have broken out in more than half a dozen African countries. With Africa ’s own food production tragically low, the continent remains dependent on food imports and food aid.



Mr. Kofi Annan will address these issues, presenting both immediate, medium- and long-term solutions. He will present an ambitious program for an African Green Revolution geared toward doubling or tripling the productivity of hundreds of millions of smallholder farmers in Africa , and report on important progress towards boosting sustainable food production and reducing food insecurity in key African countries.
