FARM-Africa’s CEO joins expert panel in a debate on the challenge of climate change to food security

Dr Christie Peacock, FARM-Africa’s Chief Executive, was one of a number of eminent academics and experts who took part in a lively debate discussing the future of food security in Africa in light of climatic change at the Department for International Development in London this week. This debate was particularly timely in the lead up the United Nations Summit on Climate Change in Copenhagen in December.

 The well-known journalist and broadcaster George Alagiah chaired the topical debate with Dr. Peacock, Lindiwe Sibanda, Head of Food, Agriculture and Natural Resources Policy Analysis Network (FANRPAN), Kathy Sierra, World Bank Vice President for Sustainable Development and Andrew Steer, Director General of Policy and Research for the Department for International Development. Professor John Beddington, Chief Scientist and Head of Government Office of Science was a keynote speaker at this event.
