THE FUTURE OF FOOD SECURITY IN AFRICA: THE AGRITECH SOLUTION - Africa has confronted unprecedented food-security challenges over the past few years, catalyzed by climate change and supply-chain disruptions stemming from Russia’s war in Ukraine. With the fastest-growing population in the world, Africa will need to rapidly scale up its ability to feed its people. Modern digital tools and agricultural approaches may help the continent do just that—if governments and development partners can help agritech solutions grow to scale.
This event, hosted by the Africa Center in partnership with the Policy Center of the New South, launched a report featuring new research and recommendations on agritech solutions.
