The President of Malawi, Bingu wa Mutharika, speaks with FANRPAN about food security.

Does Africa have the potential to feed itself? Yes, and in the near future, says Bingu wa Mutharika, president of Malawi and current interim chair of the African Union."Africa is not poor," says Mutharika, who has been Malawi's president since 2004 and has a degree in economics. The continent, he says, "has decided to shift from Afro-pessimism to Afro-optimism."The president of the southeastern African nation outlines a strategy incorporating subsidies to small—especially women—farmers, improvements in irrigation, distribution of sturdy hybrid seeds, building and upgrading of roads, a push toward alternative clean energy sources such as wind and solar, an increased continent-wide investment in communications technology, and the establishment of a strategic partnership comprising nations such as Uganda, Egypt, Ethiopia, Ghana, and Zimbabwe, countries that Mutharika cites as having "track records of achievement in promoting agriculture and food security."Hosted by the African Presidential Archives & Research Center (APARC) on October 1, 2010.

After an introduction by Wilson Center President Jane Harman, Malawian President Mutharika proceeded to outline the initiative that he had begun, as Chairman of the Africa Union in 2010, on the African Food Basket.

"The greatest challenge facing humanity in modern times is not the threat of nuclear proliferation, but the threat to peace and security arising from failure to produce enough food to feed humanity" remarked President Mutharika. He noted, however, that with targeted investments and enhanced cooperation between African governments and international actors, Africa would be capable of feeding itself and the entire world.
