AGRO-FOOD: the future of all development

According to FAO estimates, one billion twenty million people suffer from hunger in the world, two hundred and sixty-five million of them in sub-Saharan Africa. On this subject, Jacques DIOUF states that: "the silent crisis of hunger which affects one sixth of humanity represents a serious threat to peace and world security". The current situation of food insecurity cannot leave us indifferent; there is little doubt that investing in farms is the most sustainable net for development. Until now, the way to maintain food self-sufficiency has been through the massive and costly importation of basic necessities. However, it would be sufficient for governments to take a greater interest in the agri-food sector and to invest more in it by providing technical and financial support to companies (small and large without distinction). Agribusiness is certainly the cornerstone for achieving real development.
