AFS Summit: African farmers discuss impact of improved finances, technology on food systems

Agricultural experts from across Africa, last week, met in Rwanda for the annual Africa Food Systems (AFS) Summit to advance conversation on transformative agricultural practices and policies to achieve sustainable food systems across the continent.

The summit, themed “Innovate, Accelerate and Scale: Delivering Food Systems Transformation in a Digital and Climate Era” held between 2-6 September. It brought together diverse stakeholders, including world leaders, investors, academia, farmers’ organisations, among others.

The AFS Forum is the world’s premier forum for African agriculture and food systems organised annually to spotlight innovations, technologies, best practices, business models, policy delivery mechanisms, and investments to accelerate food systems transformation in Africa and beyond.
