Counting Down to Africa Food Systems Forum (AFSF) 2025

Africa Food Systems Forum (AFSF) is, absolutely, the premier agri-food summit on the continent, and what is so significant is how it offers the best way to wind down the year. This means examining global trends, regional dynamics, and the specific continental priorities that are shaping the future of African agriculture.

There are a number of significant elements at play. We are looking at:

  • Political commitments that shape policy direction.
  • Investments that can unlock agricultural transformation.
  • Partnerships that we need in order to scale up solutions.

The key question is, how do we take the commitments made in Dakar further, so they inform and strengthen the many platforms we already engage in?

Watch the conversation below with our President, Robynne Anderson as I share more about the Forum and its role in shaping food systems transformation.
