How Africa Can Build Better Food Systems | Episode 15

In Episode 15 of Understanding Africa’s Food Systems, we continue exploring what it will take to build stronger, more connected, and more resilient food systems across Africa. Africa’s food systems are not only about farming. They include markets, trade, storage, processing, nutrition, finance, infrastructure, policy, technology, and the people who move food from farms to consumers every day. This episode looks at why Africa needs to move beyond narrow agricultural thinking and embrace a wider food systems approach that connects production with markets, livelihoods, institutions, and long-term transformation. In this episode, we discuss: Why food systems thinking matters for Africa How farming connects to markets, trade, nutrition, and policy Why solving one problem in isolation is not enough What leaders, entrepreneurs, investors, and institutions should focus on How Africa can build more practical and resilient food systems This episode is part of the Understanding Africa’s Food Systems series, where we break down practical food systems thinking for Africa’s agriculture professionals, entrepreneurs, institutions, and decision-makers.
