Goodwill Ambassadors for the United Nations’ International Fund for Agricultural Development, Actor Idris Elba and his wife Sabrina Dhowre Elba in the opening speech appealed to participants for fast financial support for people hit by food scarcity and climate change.

They also called for more support to the world’s poorest countries in the form of investment rather than aid.
