"GenZ are going to change the food systems. They have come with solutions that are for smallholder farmers," Dr AGNES KALIBATA. Here more in this week's episode of #BanterWithKalibanter Podcast. https://lnkd.in/eYnszeZD

DR. Fabian Kausche, ILRI’s new Deputy Director General for Research and Innovation, shares how @ILRI is transforming poultry farming. From enhancing local breeds for better resilience and weight gain to creating employment opportunities, poultry farming is empowering women, smallholder farmers, and youth. In Fabian's words, the poultry sector is becoming an ‘ATM’ for families—bringing income, jobs, and growth. With NGOs, investors, and governments working together, Africa’s poultry industry is set to thrive, delivering protein and prosperity! #PoultryFutures #YouthInAgriculture #FoodSecurity #AGRAImpact #FoodSystems

Farmers are the backbone of Ghana’s future, and empowering youth and women in agriculture is key to long-term prosperity. With 52% of Ghanaians dependent on agriculture, equipping young people and women with the right tools, knowledge, and technology transforms farming into a thriving business. #Ayekoo #YouthInAg #EmpowerWomen #GhanaFarmersDay2024

Agriculture is profitable and it holds the promise of sustainable development and economic growth for Africa. By investing in the youth and transforming agricultural practices, we are not just creating jobs; we are building a future where agriculture is seen as a lucrative and prestigious career choice. At AGRA, we believe in the potential of Africa’s youth. Through continued support, innovation, and empowerment, we are working tirelessly to ensure that agriculture becomes the profitable and dignified solution to youth unemployment. Together, we can cultivate a brighter and more prosperous future for the entire continent.

Transforming food systems starts with youth. By embedding agricultural education early on, we can inspire a generation to see agribusiness as a pathway to real change. #FoodSecurity #AGRAImpact

Transforming the agrifood system starts with inclusive finance, education, and mindset shifts. Let’s empower youth to see agribusiness as a path to success! #FoodSecurity #AGRAImpact

The food systems approach goes beyond agriculture—it's about integrating sectors to tackle Africa's challenges holistically. This shift lets us address food production, policy, nutrition, and resilience together. #FoodSecurity #AGRAImpact
