The Summit\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/agrf.org\/docs\/AGRF%20VIRTUAL%20SUMMIT%202020%20-%20Communique%2028092020.pdf\">Communiqu\u00e9<\/a> has finally been released and contains decisions and commitments from the Summit with a focus on the theme, Feed the Cities, Grow the Continent \u2013 Leveraging Urban Food Markets to Achieve Sustainable Food Systems in Africa. With Africa experiencing the world\u2019s fastest urbanization rate, estimated to hit 60% of the continent\u2019s population living in urban areas by 2030, food systems are going to play a critical role in sustaining cities.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-960\" style=\"float: left; padding-right: 10px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-top: 10px;\" src=\"https:\/\/emergingag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/b2ap3_large_Picture1.png\" width=\"468\" height=\"312\" align=\"center\" data-style=\"clear\" srcset=\"https:\/\/emergingag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/b2ap3_large_Picture1.png 452w, https:\/\/emergingag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/b2ap3_large_Picture1-300x200.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 468px) 100vw, 468px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Africa\u2019s cities are currently grappling with food security issues, including malnutrition and undernourishment. The Communique notes that about two hundred million children in urban areas are grappling with extreme poverty and its effect, and Africans are both going hungry and suffering obesity rates of as high as 60%. Without re-thinking and streamlining African food systems, the situation is likely to worsen as Africa rapidly urbanizes. To this end, this year\u2019s AGRF was focused around four outcomes:<\/p>\n<p>I. <strong>Food Systems:<\/strong> improve existing food systems by introducing more efficient systems to utilize our resources and adapt these to the needs of the growing cities;<\/p>\n<p>II. <strong>Nutrition:<\/strong> provide nutritious and accessible diets to feed 1 billion people in African cities by 2040;<\/p>\n<p>III. <strong>Resilience:<\/strong> build back better following the COVID-19 pandemic and prepare for ongoing shocks, such as climate change, hunger and civil unrest;<\/p>\n<p>IV. <strong>Markets and Trade:<\/strong> jumpstart the African free trade agreement from an agricultural perspective and strengthen agri-food data systems to foster evidence-based policies and predictability.<\/p>\n<p>Transforming Africa\u2019s food systems holds a lot of promise, not just for food security, but also driving equitable and sustainable growth across the continent. The different sessions at the summit highlighted the potential of streamlined food systems, envisioning the potential of agricultural transformation to spur growth on the continent. Several high-level segments held at the Summit called for action and made commitments in different areas:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 The launch of the <a href=\"https:\/\/agra.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/AASR-2020-Feeding-African-Cities.pdf\">Africa Agriculture Status Report (AASR) 2020<\/a> called for an urgent need for urban food systems planning and governance reforms, including: improved urban food system governance; efficient urban wholesale markets; food safety regulation and enforcement; regional free trade and agricultural policy harmonization, and; agricultural research focused on high-growth, high-value food commodities.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 At the <strong>Presidential Summit<\/strong>, leaders including Heads of States shed light on the progress they are making and made commitments including the delivery of the AU\u2019s Malabo Declaration and realization of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 The <strong>High-Level Ministerial Roundtable<\/strong> called for investment in agriculture and food systems and committed to making progress towards the implementation of the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP) and the Continental Agri-Food Policy under the AfCFTA Framework.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 The <strong>Agribusiness Deal Room<\/strong> hit new records presenting a pipeline of approximately five billion USD in Agri-business investment commitments.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 The first-ever <strong>Farmer\u2019s Forum<\/strong> at the Summit called for the involvement of farmers in designing the future of Africa\u2019s food system; empowerment of smallholder farmers; and placing farmers at the heart of policy processes and national budgeting processes.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 In a demonstration of the youths\u2019 critical role in Africa\u2019s food systems, Rwanda\u2019s President, H.E. Paul Kagame, hosted the <strong>Youth Townhall<\/strong> calling on young people to use their innovative spirit to ensure agriculture serves as the basis for Africa\u2019s transformation.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the above commitments made during the high-level segments, all the other sessions and events called for action and commitments from all players in Africa\u2019s food systems to ensure the food systems of the rapidly urbanizing continent are stronger, resilient, and more sustainable, and at the centre of Africa\u2019s transformation and growth. The Summit is not just a 4-day event, throughout the year, AGRF will continue to advocate for action and coordinate its members through 10 thematic platforms and working groups who set a long-term strategy and annual work plan that includes but also extends beyond the annual AGRF event to achieve specific outcomes.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;We must not relent in our effort to transform food systems for the benefit of everyone and build stronger, resilient and more sustainable food systems.\u201d &#8211; Dr. Agnes Kalibata, President of AGRA and Special Envoy to the 2021 UN Food Systems Summit After an intense 4 days of activities featuring 57 sessions with more than&hellip;<\/p>","protected":false},"author":27,"featured_media":960,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"post_series":[],"class_list":["post-968","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","entry","has-media"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.1 -
