DuPont Asks African Stakeholders: How Can We Help the
Jim Borel on the recent listening tour in Africa. |
Jim and other DuPont leaders were in Africa this month, accompanying the DuPont Committee on Agriculture Innovation and Productivity. The Committee was formed in 2010 to examine the challenges and opportunities in addressing the food productivity gap.
Chaired by former U.S. Senator Tom Daschle, the committee met with government leaders, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), researchers, students, farmers and others in Africa to learn first hand what needs to be done to address the challenge.
“Collaboration on a scale we have never seen before will be needed to help the world feed itself,” Jim said. “As a global community, we need to come together and find new models to get this job done.”
The committee will release their recommendations later this year.
