At the end of 2022, the AGRF was rebranded as the Africa Food System Forum in alignment with our partnership's vision for comprehensive food system transformation.

Our goal is to foster continuous stakeholder engagement throughout the year in measures of action and policies that are crucial for achieving our continent’s food security objectives.
