Africa Food Systems (AFS) Forum 2024 Report

The 2024 Africa Food Systems Forum created an opportunity to deliberate on what we can do together to improve African food systems and achieve results at scale. The year’s theme - Innovate, Accelerate, and Scale - calls for harnessing the creativity of Africa’s youth and women to drive economic progress. It is time to gobeyond the traditional meaning of nutrition which only looks at the quantity of what is consumed and instead, adopt a broader view which also takes into account the quality of what we eat, trade, and how it affects our health.

Summit 2023 Brochure

Sustainable food systems are crucial for human life, well-being, and livelihoods and a healthy planet. Today, African food systems face various challenges, including climate change, depletion of natural resources, changing consumption patterns, demographic growth, biodiversity loss, pollution, conflict, migration, and external crises and shocks. These vulnerabilities are compounded by a lack of finance, equipment, technologies, and infrastructure, inadequate digital connectivity for reliable access to markets and services, as well as adequate coordination mechanisms, governance structures, and policies. This results in food and nutrition insecurity, environmental degradation, and loss of biodiversity. Furthermore, food production methods and diets that rely on imported fertilizers and food staples exacerbate these problems.
