Poor Children Rich Households - Keetie Roelen Seminar

Is China building an empire in rural Africa? China has nine percent of the world's arable land, six percent of its water, and over 20 percent of its people. Africa's savannahs and river basins host expanses of underutilized land and water. Some believe that China is buying up African land to grow food to ship back home.

Professor Deborah Bräutigam discusses her new book, "Will Africa Feed China", which challenges conventional wisdom and finds that Chinese farming investments and land acquisitions are surprisingly limited. China exports more food to Africa than it imports.. And, currently facing a food deficit, how will Africa feed its own population? Does China have a role to play in this?
