The First Africa Food Security Conference

20 – 21 August 2013, Nairobi, Kenya

Climate change and a growing population pose great challenges to food security in Africa, as illustrated strikingly by recent crises in the Sahel and the Horn of Africa. UNEP and FAO with further partners organize the First Africa Food Security Conference in Nairobi, Kenya, to explore how to improve food security by adapting to environmental change and using ecosystem-based approaches. Participants will be able to exchange knowledge and network during alternating plenary and panel phases.
