Agriculture a post-pandemic priority for Africa (China Daily)

September 09, 2021


China Daily posted an article on this year’s Africa Green Revolution Forum that has identified investment, collaboration and inclusivity in agriculture as a post-pandemic priority to tackle hunger and grow the value of Africa’s agricultural sector. Kevin Chen (Chen Zhigang), China Program Leader and Senior Research Fellow pointed out that COVID-19 is one of many risks facing the agri-food sector. He said, “COVID-19 is an example of a single event cascading into multiple risks. This means when you have all those risks together, it’s going to have a compounded effect on everyone involved in agri-food.”
