JOHANNESBURG - TEDxJohannesburg supported by the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) is to host a TEDx event, as Southern Africa grapples with high levels of food insecurity, with more than 60 million people hungry in 12 countries.

"Practical approaches are crucial to address food security in the region," says Menghestab Haile, WFP's Regional Director in Southern Africa. "WFP is excited to bring together various experts to share their insights and help bring effective solutions in the fight against hunger. I hope it will be a feast of ideas to disrupt hunger."

"At TEDxJohannesburgSalon: Food for Thought, we have a diverse array of solutions and possibilities that we hope will spark inspiration and foster collaboration," says Kelo Kubu, TEDxJohannesburg licensee. "Our event will present unconventional perspectives, cutting-edge research, and inspiring success stories that challenge traditional thinking and explore new approaches to ending hunger across Africa."

Keynote speakers drawn from various sectors will grace the event.
