本文讲述了非洲发展银行的总裁因为对农业的贡献而被授予“世界粮食奖”的故事。他指出非洲的农业体制不利于农业的发展,因此要改变种子和化肥的供给方式。当然,他们希望新一代的非洲青年能够终结非洲的的饥饿。
African Development Bank president Akinwumi Adesina has won World Food Prize for his work to boost yields and farm incomes. Dr Adesina said providing millions of farmers with seeds and fertilizers was vital to boost development. He added that 98% of the world's 800 million undernourished(营养不良的) people live in Africa. Since 1986, the World Food Prize aims to recognize efforts to increase the quality and quantity of available food.
Dr Adesina said that he was "very happy" to win the award. "For me, the award is not just about recognition for me, it is also about putting the wind behind the sails of what still needs to be done in African agriculture," he said. He added that the issue that needed to be solved was that the level of productivity of the African agriculture was "so, so low". "One of the things that I have worked on was how to accelerate our efforts," he said. "You know, you can find Coca-Cola anywhere in rural Africa, so why can't you find seeds or why can’t you find fertilizers? It is because the model that was used to hand out was based on government systems, which are very, very inefficient. So I thought the best way to do that is to support rural companies to have their own small shops to sell seeds and fertilizers to farmers.”
The World Food Prize was founded in 1986 by Dr. Norman E Borlaug, who won the 1970 Nobel Peace Prize. Dr Adesina will receive the US $250,000 prize at the Borlaug Dialogue international symposium, which is held in the US to "help further the discussion on global food security issues and inspire the next generation to end hunger".
