Climate change, geopolitical tensions, and economic shocks are disrupting global food systems and threatening livelihoods, especially in Sub-Saharan Africa. The 2021 UN Food Systems Summit called for transformative action, but achieving sustainable development goals requires urgent, coordinated efforts to tackling these challenges. This conference brings together researchers, policymakers, entrepreneurs, and stakeholders to address the critical challenges facing agrifood systems. We’re focusing on practical solutions through digital innovation, entrepreneurship, and value chain development to build resilience and create opportunities for youth, women, differently abled persons, and vulnerable communities in a changing climate.

Discover cutting-edge strategies for transforming agrifood systems through seven keynote addresses from Nigerian ministers and international experts. Explore digital technologies and AI innovations for sustainable agriculture, climate adaptation frameworks integrating food systems into national plans, and models for empowering marginalized groups in agribusiness. Gain insights on blue and marine economies, circular economy approaches from European partners, investment models for closing the digital divide, and policy frameworks for value chain development. Participate in panel sessions, workshops, and technical presentations covering ecosystem management, agricultural resilience, and entrepreneurship innovations across multiple sub-themes.
