Currently, Africa is the only continent which does not grow enough food to feed its own people.Its farmers have been locked out of the scientific and technological advances which have transformed crop yields across the world. The result is that hundreds of millions of people go hungry every day. And it is a scandal which climate change is already making more severe. But Africa also contains 60% of the world’s uncultivated arable land. If we can promote a uniquely African green revolution drawing on the experiences of Asia and Latin America not only can we meet food shortages within the continent, but provide exports to improve food security across the world.
