Food Security: Building a Self-Sufficient Food System

Africa’s long struggle with hunger, undernourishment and famine need no introduction. Yet after decades the continent is no closer to self-sufficiency in food. If anything, Russia’s war in Ukraine has exposed a continued dependency on imports of grains and other foodstuffs. Handouts won’t solve the problem. Africa has the capacity to fertilize, grow and process what it needs. What’s missing? Who’s standing in the way of progress? Fatmata Binta, Executive Chef, Dine on a Mat and Founder, Fulani
Kitchen Foundation, Tatika Catipay, Chief Operating Officer, Degas Ltd., and Sara Menker, Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Gro Intelligence discuss with Bloomberg's Jennifer Zabasajja.
