In line with IFAD’s commitment to amplify the debate on rising food prices and how to achieve global food security, this training workshop, to run concurrently with the African Green Revolution Forum (AGRF) will allow journalists from Africa to enhance their skills required to cover the issues facing the rural people and their communities and bring these to the attention of policy and decision makers, both nationally and regionally. Journalists will attend one session of the AGRF, spend a day visiting an IFAD project on the ground, as well as spending time in a workshop. Workshops sessions will look at issues such as basic economics of food production, market access, competition for resources, population movements and access to water.
