Within five years, there will be no food insecurity in Africa, according to the AfDB

According to AfDB President Akinwumi Adesina, whose institution supports initiatives in more than 30 African countries that have helped produce approximately $12 billion worth of food, the $25 billion objective of the African Development Bank (AfDB) is "well on track.""In my opinion, we shouldn't be discussing food security in Africa in more than five years. There is no justification for it, the AfDB president told Reuters, an American news organization. He continued, "We have the technology and the funding to achieve it at scale. After speaking with the AfDB president, a news agency reported that "Russia's invasion of Ukraine, one of the top grain exporters in the world, in February 2022 sent shockwaves through global grain markets, endangering food supplies." The development of the El Nio weather pattern and the failure of a deal to move grain from Ukraine via the Black Sea have worsened the world's food security problems.
