* Description: The conference comes at a critical moment when the region must rethink how we produce, protect, and access food. It will bring together farmers, seed custodians, researchers, policymakers, civil society organisations, youth, development partners, and other food system actors to exchange knowledge, showcase innovations, influence policy, and strengthen collaboration for a more resilient future.
What makes this conference unique is that it places farmers and communities at the centre of the conversation. It is not only a space to discuss challenges but also a platform to celebrate solutions already working on the ground and build collective action for food sovereignty across Eastern Africa.
Whether you are a farmer, policymaker, researcher, practitioner, agri entrepreneur, media or communicator or advocate for sustainable food systems, this is an opportunity to connect with regional changemakers and contribute to shaping the future of food.
