The Food and Agriculture Organisation FAO, is calling for the transformation of Africa’s agri-food system to make healthy diets more affordable. A new report shows Africans are missing out on the nutritiuos foods such as fruits, vegetables and animal proteins due to high costs. The report also shows the number of undernourished in the continent has risen to over two hundred and fifty million people.

This video is on the Galana- Kulalu food security project-10,000 acre model farm.
It's objective is to optimize productivity of the ranches in the area through an array of targeted investments in crop, livestock and fish production thereby contributing to Kenya's food security.

This is a video on how to make simple Home/Kitchen garden structures. It is one in a series of videos produced under the 1 Million Home/Kitchen Garden Initiative by the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock Fisheries and Cooperatives in Kenya. The initiative is part of Government of Kenya's response to the global outbreak of the COVID-19 Corona Virus.

What do trees talk about? In the Douglas fir forests of Canada, see how trees “talk” to each other by forming underground symbiotic relationships—called mycorrhizae—with fungi to relay stress signals and share resources with one another.

Farmers in Kenya are dealing with the challenges created by a changing climate by making the switch to ecological farming.

ORFC Global 2021 Session

In this talk, Adilen Roque, National Coordinator of Peasant-to-Peasant Agroecological Movement of the National Association of Small Farmers (ANAP) of Cuba, will explain the history of the peasant-to-peasant methodology, as well as how this methodology helped to spark an “Agroecological Revolution” in Cuba which today includes more than 100,000 peasant families growing healthy food for their local communities, and has made the country more resilient against the cruel 60-year economic blockade imposed by the United States.

ORFC Global 2021 Session

Africa faces multiple challenges related to our food systems, including hunger, malnutrition, obesity, noncommunicable diseases, the climate crisis, environmental degradation, loss of biodiversity, cultural erosion, and other climate related shocks, such as pest and disease outbreaks and escalating prices of external inputs. The COVID-19 pandemic has further exposed the weaknesses of current food systems to meet the needs of African peoples. 

These interconnected challenges demand a holistic response, with African civil society and institutions working together to develop African solutions to meet African needs, addressing the gaps and inconsistencies in current frameworks and exploiting the potential of innovative ideas and approaches. 

This session will bring key actors and thinkers from across Africa to debate on the current status of the food system in their part of the continent and suggest solutions to address the challenges.

This is a recording of a webinar hosted by Pesticide Action Network (PAN) International. Hear farmers from Africa, Asia, Latin America, and North America sharing their experiences and successes in agroecology. This proven approach to farming — grounded in principles of equity, collectivity, and food sovereignty — has enabled farmers around the world to replace dependence on highly hazardous pesticides with healthy, resilient food and farming systems that nourish their communities, ecosystems, and the planet.
