Dr. Wkinwumi Adesina had a vision that in order for Africa to overcome chronic poverty in the 21st century and stand by itself, African countries must transform their agricultural sectors. With this in mind, for 30 years he has spearheaded agricultural innovation and improved food security for millions of people throughout the African continent.
Dr. Wkinwumi Adesina proclaims: “Agriculture is a sector that will help diversify economies, create jobs, and eradicate food insecurity in African countries, as well as achieving food security for the world.” Therefore, he has been at the forefront of establishing major agricultural policies to eradicate poverty in Africa.
