'If Africa Gains, Everybody Gains': Why the World's Food Future Depends on Africa—Former Ethiopian State Minister ExplainsBlessed with fertile soil, abundant rainfall, and vast river networks, Africa is poised to "become the next frontier" of global food security, former Ethiopian State Minister of Peace Frealem Shibabaw told Sputnik Africa.To harness this potential, Ethiopia recently crafted the "Hunting Agripreneurs" initiative to empower young people in the agribusiness sector, she noted.Highlighting the world's growing interdependence, Shibabaw warned that failing to ensure Africa's food security will inevitably lead to global food shortages."If Africa continues to suffer in food security and dependency, the world is going to suffer. It's not going to be just us anymore. We suffer together," she emphasized.Subscribe to @sputnik_africa Sputnik Africa | X
