Food Security: Building a Self-Sufficient Food System
Africa’s long struggle with hunger, undernourishment and famine need no introduction. Yet after decades the continent is no closer to self-sufficiency in food.

Fatmata Binta, Executive Chef, Dine on a Mat and Founder, Fulani Kitchen Foundation, Tatika Catipay, Chief Operating Officer, Degas Ltd., and Sara Menker, Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Gro Intelligence discuss with Bloomberg's Jennifer Zabasajja.
