Analysing the global food crisis with SA's very own Dr Theo de Jager

He's not a man to mince his words or shy away from asking tough questions of governments around the world. BizNews caught up with Dr Theo de Jager, a South African who's been heading up the World Farmers' Organisation (WFO) as its president for five years. The world is in the midst of a food crisis that has only been exacerbated by the war in Ukraine. De Jager, a delegate at the World Economic Forum (WEF), emphasises that organised agriculture needs to be sitting around the table with the world's decision makers as a perfect storm of skyrocketing food and energy prices will soon see attention focus from food prices to food availability. More too from De Jager on the state of the agricultural sector in South Africa, expropriation without compensation, and crumbling infrastructure, all of which compound the difficulties farmers face in the country.
