Vice President Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang is in the United States to participate in the 2025 Norman E. Borlaug International Dialogue, a flagship global event organised by the World Food Prize Foundation.<\/p>\n

The annual dialogue, held in Des Moines, Iowa, brings together global leaders, policymakers, scientists, and innovators to discuss strategies for addressing world hunger and strengthening global food systems.<\/p>\n

A statement released by her office and signed by Ama Pratt, Press Secretary and Spokesperson at the Vice President\u2019s Office, indicates that Professor Opoku-Agyemang will deliver a keynote address highlighting Ghana\u2019s progress and strategic interventions in food security, sustainable agriculture, and the promotion of women and youth participation in agribusiness.<\/p>\n

The statement further notes that the Vice President will hold bilateral meetings with development partners to explore avenues for collaboration in agricultural innovation, technology transfer, and climate-smart farming.<\/p>\n

Professor Opoku-Agyemang will also share Ghana\u2019s experiences and priorities in building a resilient and inclusive agricultural economy when she joins a high-level roundtable discussion on innovation and agricultural transformation.<\/p>\n

Her participation in the Dialogue underscores Ghana\u2019s unwavering commitment to global food security and reaffirms the country\u2019s growing role as a key voice in Africa\u2019s agricultural transformation. <\/p>\n

It also highlights Ghana\u2019s partnership with international stakeholders to achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 2 \u2013 Zero Hunger, and advance national efforts to build resilient, inclusive, and sustainable food systems that empower farmers and promote rural development.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
