Abstract
Since 2020, due to the compounding effects of the COVID-19 epidemic, climate change and the Ukraine crisis, the problem
of food security in Africa has deteriorated in a spiral and has featured the issue of people’s livelihood, which has been a key concern for the development of African countries. International cooperation is an important path to ensure food security in Africa. As a major partner in food security cooperation with African countries, China has pledged to help Africa enhance its food self-sufficiency, and the white paper “China and Africa in the New Era: A Partnership of Equals” released in November 2021 lists “helping Africa’s agricultural development” as an important area of cooperation. In the new era, China-Africa cooperation on food security will become more in-depth and serves the building of the China-Africa community with a shared future and the development of the China-Africa strategic partnership.
