Our History *

Originally known as the "African Green Revolution Conference," the Africa Food Systems Forum has undergone significant evolution since its establishment in 2006.

Since 2010, the Africa Food Systems Forum has been an annual gathering held in different regions of Africa, with evolving themes. Heads of State, Ministers, business leaders, development partners, thought leaders, farmers, youth, and other stakeholders come together to focus on actionable measures and policies to drive the continental agenda forward. Over time, the Forum has expanded its scope to include a greater emphasis on food systems and integrated approaches, government engagement, reporting and accountability, and mobilizing the private sector.
