A summit on food security across Africa has heard calls for the continent to feed itself, rather than relying on aid or imports.
The current African Union chairman - Senegalese President Macky Sall - told the meeting in Dakar that Africa had huge potential that was not exploited.
The head of the African Development Bank, Akinwumi Adesina, two-thirds of the world's uncultivated arable land is in Africa adding that Africa can and must feed itself.
