Homegrown Food Key to Africa's Growth
Experts and policymakers are calling for increased investment in homegrown food systems as the key to Africa's sustainable growth and transformation.
This call was made at the 2025 Changemakers Conference, organised by Sahel Consulting Agriculture & Nutrition in partnership with Mastercard Foundation, Heifer International, and GIZ.
Conference Theme
The conference, themed "Designing for Legacy: Building Resilient and Impact-Driven Food Systems," focused on shifting from short-term agricultural interventions to long-term, people-centred, and sustainable systems.
Building resilient and impact-driven food systems should be hardwired into any economic plan as a demonstration that our food system has evolved.
Minister of Budget and Economic Planning, Abubakar Bagudu, stressed that transforming Africa's food systems must remain central to national development strategies.
