The World Farmers Organisations Vice President Dr. Evelyn Nguleka, speaking on behalf of the WFO and the Farmers Major Group at UNISDR in Geneva, stated there is a need to acknowledge the role of agri-coop and farmers’ organizations to contribute to recovery from disasters. “The agriculture sector plays a large role in supplying food in disaster situations as well as in reducing food insecurity. Any factors that inhibit the growing, processing and distribution of food are highly likely to negatively impact food security with potentially disastrous results for local populations,” said Dr. Nguleka.
