The Guardian Sustainable Business Seminar

Fast-forward 30 years, will Africa be feeding the world with an efficient and productive food and farming sector? Or will it be struggling against challenges including water, climate change, poor investment and missed opportunities? These questions are the basis for The Guardian's public discussion about what role, if any, big business can play in ensuring the successful development of Africa’s agri-food sector.
