Editor's Notes
- Before we start the sessions just a couple of slides on the context of diet and food system transformation and its implications on markets we will discuss today.
- The diet transformations currently ongoing in West Africa are not special and have been observed across the world – probably most recently in South East Asia. The main drivers are population, in particular urbanisation and income growth. So, I will show a couple of figures to show these and remind us of the massive transformations that occurred and that we would like you to keep mind during our dicussions today for two reasons: They provide the context and scale of what we will discuss And second this is the background against which we should think about the need to evaluate the effectiveness of our instruments and policies. A point which has also been highlighted during yesterdays’ opening ceremony by Mdm Fall-Tall
- Maybe something that has become less of a surprise is the growth in total population. But, probably worth to just consider the numbers – a doubling in poplation, plus 200 million people in just 20 years.
- Even more spectacular and definitely more profound has been the urbanisation dynamic.
