Edwini Kwame Kessie: 我认为贸易是促进全球经济发展的力量，但非洲在全球贸易中的份额却在下降。非洲的粮食安全问题需要一个整体性的方法，包括贸易和气候因素。世界贸易组织需要改革，特别是在农业领域，规则已经过时。农业补贴普遍存在，不仅在发达国家，也在中国和印度等发展中国家，这对非洲的农业和粮食安全产生影响。非洲国家对粮食进口的过度依赖，使其在面临COVID-19和乌克兰战争等危机时，粮食安全受到严重影响。出口限制导致食品价格上涨，加重了非洲国家的粮食负担。我们需要超越贸易视角，采取更全面的方法来看待粮食安全问题。非洲国家强调，在讨论粮食安全时，不仅要关注环境方面，还要关注社会和经济方面。世界贸易组织（WTO）一直是促进全球减贫的力量，现在轮到非洲利用贸易来提高生活水平。我们需要确保贸易体系具有包容性，能够支持各国的愿望。

Contributor(s): Adejoké Bakare, Dipo Faloyin, Dr Edwini Kwame Kessie, Professor David Luke | Food is family, food is fuel, nourishment, cultural and fundamental. Connections made through food are an effective way to change minds, shift narratives, and amend policies to guard against food deprivation seen in many parts of Africa today. As explored in David Luke’s new book How Africa Eats, this diverse panel of tastemakers will explore the history of African cuisine; production and distribution, as well as considering the factors which may disrupt these; food security, food trade, and climate risks.
