?? Rethinking food systems for a resilient future! ?? Hunger is rising faster in Africa than anywhere else—despite decades of efforts to solve this crisis. Most approaches fail to tackle the three interconnected challenges at the core of the crisis: food systems, finance, and nature. Sustain Africa has shown how a public-private-civil society coalition can drive real impact, as seen during the 2022 food crisis. Now, the initiative looks to scale this approach to build food autonomy, reduce reliance on imports, and empower 10 million farmers.
