This was the core message echoed during the World Food Day commemoration held at Uukwiyu wuushona village in the Oshana Region.

In a speech read on his behalf, Agriculture Minister Carl Schlettwein said there is a need for global solidarity and action to transform agri-food systems towards better resilience and sustainability.
