Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Dr Muhammad Abubakar as well as the United Kingdom High Commissioner to Nigeria, Catriona Laing are expected to lead conversation at the upcoming Feed Nigeria Summit.
The summit is scheduled to hold on 12th December 2022, and it will focus on how to recalibrate the Nigerian economy using the advantages the agricultural sector and agribusiness ecosystem provide.
While addressing journalists, Director General of Feed Nigeria Summit Secretariat, Richard-Mark Mbaram, said the summit will also focus on the best way to deploy biotechnology which he said has contributed to the growth of agriculture in Africa, without leaving a mark on the environment.
He said having studied the global economic meltdown, it was realising that agriculture is the answer to this global economic crisis and that the world is concerned with growing more food without having a negative impact on the environment, adding that this was part of the discussions at the concluded COP27.
