Rome – “Africa is a crucial resource for the whole world and in the next few years it will be the main actor in the food security challenge, the possibility, that is, to produce quality food in sufficient quantities to meet the nutritional needs of a world population that will reach 9 billion over the next 25 years. ” said Luigi Scordamaglia, President of Federalimentare, on the sidelines of Italy-Africa Conference held on May 18 in Rome. “This – continued Scordamaglia – creates many more opportunities for Italian companies ready to invest in the enhancement of their agri-food in those countries.” (9Colonne)
