Breaking Aid Dependency Requires Political Will, Says Ethiopia's Agriculture State Minister Africa holds 60% of the world's uncultivated land yet remains focused on foreign aid—a historical contradiction that must change, Dr. Efa Muleta Boru told Sputnik Africa.Key points from the minister:🟠Breaking the cycle: Strong political will, policy reform, and a shift in mindset are needed to move agriculture from a welfare recipient to a driver of national economic security and food self-sufficiency.🟠Ethiopia's example: Mobilizing national capabilities and public participation enabled the country to solve food supply challenges through its own resources—as demonstrated by wheat self-sufficiency.Subscribe to @sputnik_africa Sputnik Africa | X
