Agriculture, Food Safety and Sovereignity in Africa
Africa faces significant challenges in achieving sustainable food systems, with concerns about environmental impact, food safety, and agricultural sustainability. During AACOSE7, experts discussed these issues and explored innovative solutions that social enterprises (SEs) can offer to address them. Speakers included Calvince Okello (CEO of M-Shamba), Symphorien Pyana (CEO of Agromwinda), George Macharia (Associate Director, Food and Agriculture Banking, Equity Bank), and Susan Kahumbu (CEO of iCow). A key focus was how to transform food systems and empower farmers across the continent.
