News Investigators/ The Global Initiative for Agricultural Reform (Global-Agric), has urged policymakers and stakeholders to implement bold reforms that will transform food systems and strengthen food security worldwide.
President and Founder of Global-Agric, Hakeem Musa, made the call in a statement on Sunday to commemorate the 2025 World Food Day.
It was themed “Hand in Hand for Better Food and a Better Future”.
Mr Musa said there was a need for renewed global action to guarantee equitable access to safe and nutritious food for all.
He reaffirmed the organisation’s commitment to promoting sustainable agriculture, ensuring food security, and driving inclusive development across the globe.
“Food is more than nourishment. It is a right, a measure of justice, and the cornerstone of human dignity.
“We are reminded that the fight against hunger is far from over. Millions still face food insecurity, even as we possess the knowledge and technology to change the story,” he said.
Mr Musa called for increased investment in agricultural reforms, youth and women empowerment, and climate-smart innovations, describing them as crucial to building resilience and ensuring that no one is left behind.
“Agricultural transformation begins with bold policies, inclusive partnerships, and a collective resolve to make food systems work for everyone. The time to act is now,” he said.
He added that Global-Agric continues to advocate for collaboration among governments, development partners, private sector actors, and local communities to drive meaningful reforms and create lasting impact across the agricultural value chain.
“As the world reflects on this year’s theme, Global-Agric calls on all stakeholders to stand united in advancing reforms that guarantee a sustainable, fair, and food-secure future for all,” he said.
