Developing agriculture while protecting people

13 November 2007 13:00-14:15 (GMT+00) - Public event, London

  • What is the potential and limitations of the current social protection agenda for addressing seasonality, a major dimension of hunger and food insecurity in rural Africa? Can cash transfers, rather than food aid, be used to combat hunger in rural areas, and in ways that assist agricultural development, or are there other alternative agricultural investments that can have greater impact on both hunger and rural growth?'
