Detailed: Prof. Ndiko Ludidi’s presentation had a strong bias for crop, and this may not be unconnected with the substantial contribution of the crop subsector to the entire contribution of the Agricultural sector to the GDP of most countries in the continent. He highlighted the contributory factors to food insecurity in the shades
of undernourishment and climate change, to mention but a few. He gave a projected looming situation of drought for Africa in the incoming decades and stated that drastic steps need to be done to forestall its devastating effect on food security.
Prof. Ndiko Ludidi however was apt to highlight the panaceas to Africa’s doldrum by stating the need for Africa to look more inwards to unravel the potentials untapped in our indigenous crop species, which poses great resilience to climate changes. He further stressed the need for genetic diversity, comparative physiological and biochemical studies as avenues to build resilience.
