The National Institute for Pharmaceutical Research and Development (NIPRD), has called for strengthened collaboration to enhance Africa’s agribusiness ecosystem and address food security challenges.

NIPRD’s Director-General, Dr Obi Adigwe in a statement on Wednesday also announced the upcoming 2024 Africa Agriculture Dialogue (AAD).

The event will be held during the World Food Prize event in Iowa, United States from October 30.

According to Adigwe, the dialogue aims to address critical issues such as food insecurity, climate change, and economic uncertainty, while bolstering Africa’s agribusiness ecosystem.

He expressed optimism that the dialogue would yield meaningful outcomes, creating sustainable links between food and medicine security across Africa.

Adigwe, who is also AAD’s Chairman for Advocacy and Engagement, highlighted the dialogue as a chance for Nigeria to showcase its commitment to food security and agribusiness.

“Hosted by Novo Modo Company, owner of the AgroAfrica Magazine brand, AAD will bring together influential stakeholders to form a coalition that promotes resilience and shared prosperity across African agribusiness,” he added.

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the World Food Prize Foundation awards the prestigious World Food Prize, honoring individuals who have significantly improved global food quality and availability.

This $500,000 prize recognises achievements in fields like plant, animal, and soil sciences, food technology, nutrition, and rural development. (NAN) www.nannews.ng
