NAIROBI, Oct. 7 (Xinhua) -- A radical overhaul of existing agricultural policies combined with smart investments, research and technology adoption will be key to ending the hunger crisis in the Horn of African region, ministers said Friday.
Speaking at a forum convened by the Intergovernmental Authority on Development(IGAD), an East African bloc, in Nairobi, the Kenyan capital, the ministers stressed that eradicating food insecurity in the region hinged on a speedy transition to climate-smart and commercially-driven farming systems.
