Hello, and a very warm welcome to The Africa Food Systems Forum Podcast (formerly known as the AGRF – for previous episodes search AGRF and you will find). The AFS Forum is the world’s premier forum for African agriculture and food systems. Now is the time to align and act to build a sustainable future through resilient food systems to end hunger in Africa.
For our latest series we bring you discussions and insights on a wide range of topics on food systems following the AFS Summit held in Kigali in the first week of September 2024.
As the world changes around us, so must we to meet the challenge of embracing new technologies and ways of thinking. But amidst major, ongoing change, we remain steadfast in our commitment to taking Africa’s food systems from shortage to surplus.
The Africa Food Systems Forum is designed to mobilize political will and advance the policies, programs and investments required to achieve inclusive and sustainable food systems transformation.
This is our podcast.
