Fruits of Development: A Ghana 50 UK Debate,
April 19th 2007, London United Kingdom
‘Fruits of Development’ - a panel discussion chaired by leading economist and academic Frances Cairncross CBE - will explore some of the most pressing issues facing West African farmers, the UK food industry and anyone concerned with development issues and the environment. The discussion will be held at City Hall on April 19th, as part of the Ghana 50 UK season.
As consumers become increasingly aware of the drastic effects of climate change, and supermarkets aim to cut down on air freighted foods, this debate asks what impact this will have on African farmers who depend on the support of Western customers. Our panel of expert speakers, will look at ways in which we can balance concerns for the future of the planet with the need to support sustainable agriculture, which is critical to the future growth of emerging economies.
This debate is to be held as part of Ghana 50 UK - a season of Ghanaian arts, culture and sport marking fifty years of independence. The year-long programme – to be held in Ghana and the UK – brings together photography, film, theatre, debate, music and literature, sport, fashion and food, celebrating Ghana’s special place in African history, as the first country in Black Africa to attain independence from colonial rule.
