💡 How can we strengthen food security in conflict-affected fragile settings? In these contexts, ensuring food security is not just a priority, but an urgent necessity, as instability disrupts livelihoods and markets. The International Trade Centre has developed a two-fold approach: fostering a supportive business environment in collaboration with governments and policymakers, and empowering local farmers and businesses through strategic alliances. Three key recommendations are offered to policymakers: 📌 Support market-led interventions that emphasize demand and buyer preferences, engaging local farmers and small firms to align agricultural production with consumer needs; 📌 Build a supportive business environment and investment climate by improving regulatory frameworks; 📌 Encourage public-private dialogue and partnerships to establish a robust support ecosystem.

Ambassador Josefa Sacko, African Union Commissioner for Agriculture, Rural Development, Blue Economy, and Sustainable Environment, highlighted the powerful Call to Action that was developed by young agripreneus following the African Youth in Agribusiness Forum (AYAF) held in Addis Ababa, November 2024. The Call to Action expresses critical commitments and requests for support from young agripreneurs across the African continent. The Call is a testament to the collective power and commitment of young African agripreneurs, and a strong invitation for leaders and other stakeholders to create a more inclusive, sustainable, and resilient agricultural sector. Not only does the Call urge for action, it also provides innovative solutions for improved enabling environments and accountability. 🌱An absolute must-read (and must do!) for anyone interested in advancing the African agrifood systems transformation agenda 🌱 #YouthEmpowerment #Agriculture #Africa #FoodSecurity #AfricanYouth #Agribusiness #SustainableDevelopment #CallToAction #AYAF2024
