Welcome to the Summit that defines the future of sustainable food systems in Africa

Climate change, a fast increasing population and uncertainties in food and agriculture industry supply chains brought by the Covid-19 pandemic, wars and conflicts and the Ukraine-Russia war have negatively affected African countries and their ability to meet the food needs of current and future populations in the Continent.

African countries are already facing the wrath of climate change – with flooding, droughts and other risks such as diseases and pests reducing crop yields and increasing uncertainties on food supplies.

iWith the fast growing, rapidly urbanising  population that is set to double by 2050 to about 2.5 billion, Africa is faced with billions of mouths to feed everyday in the next 25 years with dwindling water, land and food resources.

As we grapple with these uncertain times, the food and agriculture industry stakeholders in Africa are faced with the difficult task of redefining the future of agricultural food production, storage, processing, distribution, retail and consumption.

The Africa Future Food Summit is the pan-African conference and exhibition where influential industry leaders and change makers, government and non-profit organisation officials, and academicians and researchers will congregate to find the solutions to Africa’s sustainable food system challenges, as we approach 2030, and a burgeoning population in Africa.
