Story details

Cross River State said it was renewing its commitment to reduce food insecurity and build sustainable food systems at a World Food Day event in Calabar on October 16. The Ministry of Agriculture and Irrigation Development organised the event with livestock, aquaculture and fisheries officials and agricultural stakeholders.

The programme included an awareness walk and an exhibition of agricultural produce and processed foods. The state described the event as a way to renew stakeholder commitment; its report did not announce a quantified new production target or completed food-security intervention.
