Africa Must Prepare For A Global Food Crisis, Says Adesina

African Development Bank Group President, Dr. Akinwumi Adesina says “Africa must prepare for the inevitability of a global food crisis.” 

Adeshina, in a statement, spoke about Africa’s priorities, as a guest at the Atlantic Council’s Africa Center in Washington DC.

Fielding questions from the Council’s Africa Center Chair, Ambassador Rama Yade; Senior Fellow Aubrey Hruby; and Washington/UN correspondent for Jeune Afrique and The Africa Report, Julian Pecquet, the Bank chief called for an increased sense of urgency amid what he described as a once-in-a-century convergence of global challenges for Africa.
