From the news I read about the World Food President of the African Development Bank, Akinwumi Adesina, has won the 2017 World Food Prize. He also won $ 250,000. He was rewarded for his work in increasing food production in Africa. He used his experience as a top banker to change many agricultural laws and make it easier for small farmers to get business loans. He also helps farmers to grow their crops in a more modern way. He creates crops that produce more food and better fight disease. They helped stop the famine in Asia in the 1960s. Adesina "grows in poverty" in Africa. He did his best at school and got his Ph.D. in the agricultural economy He became a leading banker and became Minister of Agriculture of Nigeria. Adesina uses her experience to help millions of people get out of poverty, especially farmers in rural Africa.
