Many farmers grapple with water shortage during dry weather periods, despite lots of runoff water when it rains, leaving the farmers with no source of water for their livestock and crops. The Smart Water for Agriculture project under the Netherlands development organization, in an effort to show case water storage, here is a how to guide on making a water pan.

This video highlights how a pastoralist community in Mandera, Kenya applied knowledge gained in a pastoral field school to improve their livelihood through fodder production.

Let’s reclaim our food sovereignty and transform the industrial food system! African organisations, including the African Centre for Biodiversity, participating in the Autonomous people's response to the UN Food Systems Summit (UNFSS), coordinated this event, as part of the three days of global mobilisation, which took place during the UNFSS pre-summit, from 25 to 28 July 2021.

We Africans reject the UNFSS, as a continuation of the neocolonial development and agrarian extractivist agenda on our continent. The UNFSS paints African food systems as deficient, and in need of more Western saviour technology, productivity and competitive enhancement. Yet this will only serve to further weaken systems already eroded by decades of state neglect and economic subordination.

Strengthening African food systems, and food producers needs to be grounded in human rights, biodiversity and broader socio-ecological wellbeing. This event brings together small-scale food producers, agricultural workers and vulnerable consumers, to launch the African common position and collectively voice our priorities and solutions for the continent’s food systems and ecologies. Together, we can begin to outline a people’s pan-African vision for food system transformation, from the ground up.
