Seeding equity in African Food Systems
The working group delves into understanding the contributions of innovative, marginal initiatives, so-called “Seeds”, towards the transformation to a more sustainable and equitable world. The group identifies barriers the Seeds encounter and exploring ways to better support them in contributing to systemic change. Through fostering conversations, collaborations, and informing development and research funding, the goal is to catalyze transformations toward more equitable and sustainable futures.
