🌾 Exciting Private Sector Dialogue on Accelerating Agrifood Systems Transformation in Near East and North Africa 🚀 Thrilled to be part of today's Private Sector Dialogue on "Engaging the Private Sector in Accelerating Agrifood Systems Transformation in the Near East and North Africa (NENA)”, organized by FAO RNE and our Maria Adelaide D'Arcangelo. 🌍 The Near East and North Africa region holds immense potential for agrifood system transformation, and it's heartening to witness the FAO recognizing the pivotal role the private sector can play in this journey. 🔄 The breadth of FAO's mandate in food and agriculture means that all forms of private sector engagement can play a critical role in helping us transform agrifood systems. Today's dialogue offers us the invaluable opportunity to reach out, listen, and collaborate with the private sector. 🤝 We believe that forging strong partnerships with the private sector is key to driving innovation, sustainability, and inclusivity in agrifood systems. By working hand in hand, we can unlock new opportunities, overcome challenges, and create positive impacts for communities across the NENA region. 🔊 It was great to use this dialogue to share insights, exchange ideas, and co-create solutions that will contribute to the acceleration of agrifood systems transformation. Together, we can build a resilient and sustainable future for the NENA region. #Agriculture #Sustainability #PrivateSectorEngagement #RNE #FAO #AgrifoodTransformation #Innovation #Collaboration Looking forward to other fruitful discussions! 🌱💼

Heifer International SVP Africa Programs, Adesuwa Ifedi will be speaking at the World Food Forum 2024 under the FAO Science and Innovation Forum titled “Start-up to Scale: Pathways to #zerohunger.” Discussions will be centered around the scaling agenda and aims to derive insights on institutional and resource mobilization approaches that FAO could pursue to maximize the contribution of innovations to the Sustainable Development Goal 2: Zero Hunger target. Global hunger and food insecurity are critical challenges that affect millions of people worldwide. Efforts to address global hunger and food insecurity involve a combination of strategies, including improving food production and distribution systems, promoting sustainable agriculture, reducing poverty and inequity, enhancing social safety nets and addressing the underlying causes of these issues, such as conflict and climate change. We therefore look forward to contributing to discussions with international organizations, governments, non-profits and individuals in working together towards a world where everyone has access to adequate and nutritious food, ultimately aiming to achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal of zero hunger.

The Africa Food Systems Forum 2024 annual summit is the premier forum for African agriculture and food systems. The theme for this year’s summit – Innovate, Accelerate and Scale: Delivering food systems transformation in a digital and climate era – underscores the urgent need to radically transform African food systems.This transformation should enhance local food production, bolster resilience to climate change, uplift African livelihoods, and harness the continent’s potential to tackle global challenges. The theme highlights the need to prioritize three key actions: innovating, accelerating, and scaling up. Regarding innovation, the 2024 Summit will shine the spotlight on innovative policy delivery mechanisms, financing initiatives, research, and business models. As we evolve in a digital age, the summit will showcase cutting-edge technologies and equipment to manage climate impact, digital and financing gap, food waste and loss to name a few. Participants and delegates will have the opportunity at the Summit to network with the innovators and thought leaders driving these state-of-the-art technologies and developments. #transformingdrylandagriculture #foodsystems #climateresilience #food #agriculture

Two months ago, at the Africa Food Systems Forum (AFS Forum) in Kigali, we came together with partners and visionaries to rethink the challenges and immense potential of transforming African food systems. Under the theme “Innovate, Accelerate, Scale,” we dove into the big questions: How can we create a resilient, equitable food system that truly serves African communities and economies? Our experiences at AFS continue to fuel our mission to transform agriculture across the continent. Here are just a few highlights you’ll find in our recap video: Food Systems Transformation in Action Courageous ideas took centre stage as we partnered with governments, NGOs, and communities to explore Agri-SME empowerment and inclusive business models that uplift smallholder farmers. Data-driven solutions are reshaping the way Africa feeds itself. Soil Health Solutions for Africa’s Future Robert Asugre, Ghana's Country Director, joined the World Economic Forum, Boomitra, and key stakeholders to discuss how multi-stakeholder partnerships can accelerate soil health solutions. Healthy soil is the foundation of sustainable growth. Revolutionizing Cold Chain Infrastructure Our partnership with AfriCatalyst and Millennium Challenge Corporation showcased scalable cold chain innovations for crops like avocados in Rwanda. NIRERE Sylvie, Rwanda Country Manager presented how infrastructure development can drive agricultural transformation and unlock new market potential. AgriGRADE: A New Partnership for Empowering Rural Communities Co-hosted with SCOPEinsight, Agriterra, and FarmFit Fund, we demonstrated how collaboration and data-driven approaches are essential to professionalizing rural organizations, paving the way for growth and sustainability. AFS is a reminder of the bold steps we are taking to create a food system that is resilient, inclusive, and centred on African needs, every day. We’re proud of our progress and look forward to future collaborations in this courageous journey.

Last week’s workshop on Pro-Smallholder Farmer Business Models, hosted by the World Food Programme at the KAMPALA SERENA HOTEL, was a great success! StartHub Africa was proud to partner with WFP in managing this impactful event, which brought together key stakeholders to explore solutions for empowering smallholder farmers in Uganda. 🤩A huge thank you to the incredible StartHub Africa team for their dedication in making this event a success! Their support throughout the planning and execution was invaluable. Key takeaways from the workshop: 📌Collaboration is essential – Partnerships between the government, private sector, and farmers are vital for creating sustainable models that benefit smallholder farmers. 📌Innovative business models – Strategies like cooperative models and strengthening trader capacities can improve market access and productivity for smallholders. 📌Sustainability and growth – Building long-lasting, sustainable business models is key to ensuring the ongoing success of smallholder farmers.
