"The African Union will focus on agriculture and food security, as pledged by the Union’s Chairperson Dr Bingu Wa Mutharika ... Both the African and Arab regions have adequate resources to improve agricultural productivity and ensure food and nutrition security. These resources can be drawn upon to advance the agricultural agenda faster. In this respect, the African Union and the League of Arab States should move together to support the vision of a hunger-free Africa in the next 5 years." (Quoted from article)
