In Africa, over 340 million people were classified as severely food insecure by a 2023 report by FAO. Entities such as public benefit organizations (PBOs) and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) have never been considered high-risk terrorist financing or money laundering organizations.
Implemented under the theme, ‘Good food for all, for today and tomorrow,’ the World Food Forum got underway on Monday in Rome. The UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) chief Qu Dongyu called for the strengthening of agrifood systems as a way to enhance food and nutrition security.
The leaders of Liberia, Lesotho, and Eswatini are also present at the forum. They noted in their speeches that African countries were struggling with their goal of achieving zero hunger, challenged by conflict, pandemics, and climate change. Over the next three days, global experts, young changemakers, investors, and leaders will discuss the action needed to achieve sustainable and inclusive global agrifood systems.
