WFP CHINA

Sustainable food production to feed the growing population in Africa remains a major challenge. Africa has 64% of the global arable land but produces less than 10% of its food locally due to its inherently low soil nutrient concentrations... Chinese agricultural technology has significantly enhanced maize productivity in Tanzania through targeted technical cooperation. Chinese agricultural experts, in collaboration with local partners, introduced innovative cultivation techniques and efficient farming practices to local communities, leading to measurable increases in maize yields. This technology transfer has improved food security while increasing incomes and educational opportunities... The WFP-China South-South Cooperation Knowledge Sharing Platform is a digital and systematic space for other developing countries to learn from China's vetted experiences on food security and nutrition improvement as well as rural transformation.
