The World Health Organisation has decried the rising number of tobacco users in the African region due to the increased production
“It calls on all of us to explore how food and agricultural policies make adequate nutritious food and healthy diets available while reducing tobacco production.
In addition, Moet disclosed that, “Nearly 828 million people are facing hunger globally. Of these, 278 million are in Africa. In addition, 57.9 per cent of people in Africa suffer from moderate to severe food insecurity. This jeopardises the region’s attainment of SDG 2 which aims to end hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition, and promote sustainable agriculture.
According to her, WHO is working with Member States and other partners to assist farmers in shifting from tobacco growing to alternative crops.
