The President of the African Development Bank Group (AfDB), Dr. Akinwumi Adesina has estimated that about 250 million men, women and children across the continent go on empty stomach from dusk to dawn.
Adesina stated this in an article he wrote that was posted on the AfDB’s website, noting that hunger has become a way of life in many African countries.
He said food systems in the continent were failing to deliver diets that are healthy, affordable, secure and safe for vast majority of Africa’s population.
He emphasized the need to invest in sustainable and healthy diets to ensure the advancement of the health and well-being of Africans.
