During the Rome summit organized by FAO in June 2008, the Heads of States and 180 country representatives all pledged with one voice to "reduce hunger and ensure food for all, today and tomorrow". In this advocacy documentary, Afrique Verte points out a gap between those intentions and local realities. This movie also shows that there are solutions to reach for food security and sovereignty in the Sahel. But statements must be supported by concrete commitments. Afrique Verte wonders : should Sahel coutries produce more, or should they transform local cereals to meet with the urban consumer's growing demand on food ready for use?
