Elba and his wife, model and activist Sabrina Dhowre Elba gave their support to a fund set up by the International Fund For Agricultural Development (IFAD), to help stop economic shocks caused by Covid-19 triggering a global food crisis.
The British actor and film maker launched a new United Nations Fund to help farmers in poorer nations, calling on richer economies to provide aid to prevent "needless hunger and suffering" growing from the coronavirus pandemic.
He said " The world's advanced economies are in the midst of this pandemic right now and of course,they must do everything they can do to help their own people"
"But the fact is, global action is also a matter of self interest. As long as the pandemic is still rageing anywhere,it will pose a threat everywhere"
