I am excited to be speaking at the World Food Prize Foundation #DialogueNEXTAfrica – happening on June 30 in Nairobi, Kenya. It is estimated that by 2050, more than one in four people on the planet will be African, up from one in ten just a century before. What does this mean for Africa's agriculture? Africa must become the breadbasket, not only for its rising population, but for the rest of the world. I am excited that young people are rising up and taking center stage, bringing their energy, creativity and passion to Africa’s agriculture landscape.
These conversations are deeply connected to both my passion and the work we do at the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) to co-design and deploy science-based livestock solutions that positively impact people's lives. Join us for this discussion on how Africa’s researchers, institutions, farmers and young agripreneurs are preparing for the future.
#BorntoFeedtheFuture, @ILRI
