A very important Panel Debate is being planned by the UK's Guardian News & Media outlet, looking at the Agricultural sector; its present state, and its future in Africa.
The questions being posed are:
"Fast-forward 30 years, will Africa be feeding the world with an efficient and productive food and farming sector? Or will it be struggling against challenges including water, climate change, poor investment and missed opportunities?"
The Panel debate will take place on Wednesday, 7th December, 2016, 6pm-8.30pm (GMT)
The venue will be: The Guardian, Kings Place, 90 York Way, London, N1 9GU
The role of multinationals in Africa’s agri-food sector will be discussed with panelists to include:
Chair – Eliza Anyangwe, former editor of the Guardian’s Global Development Professionals Network and writer on international development and gender
Na Ncube, director, Global Native, a charity supporting agriculture and development in Africa
