Reminiscing on the first ever World Food Forum Africa that was hosted in the 34th Session of the Africa Regional Conference on 15th of April in Nouakchott Mauritania. 😁

The session being a first of it's kind marked a significant milestone for young people as they got a chance to have their voice in cocreation of the Regional agrfifood systems agenda.

Attended by dignitaries and ministries from the various FAO Member States, the sessions highlighted some of the great work youths are doing in their countries and the challenges young people face in being innovators including access to knowledge,technology and most important Finances.

It is our hope that this marks the first step into meaningful youth inclusion in transforming African Food systems.

What we eat should nourish us,not harm us.

Yet today, toxic food is silently making its way into our markets and onto our plates. From arsenic in fish to aflatoxins in staple foods like maize and peanuts, this is not just a food issue—it is a public health crisis.

Join us today for a powerful X Space hosted by IFJAD as we dive into the hidden dangers in our food systems and what we can do to fix them.

Let’s talk. Let’s act. Let’s demand safer food for all.

10th April | 7:30 – 9:00 PM

In Garissa County, 111 girls at Yathrib Girls Secondary School are learning, leading, and growing despite limited resources. Through the (Organization for Pastoral Peace and Development ), students are engaging in tree planting and environmental action turning everyday learning into climate leadership and hands-on sustainability.

As we mark the International Year of Rangelands & Pastoralists, we recognize that pastoralist communities are not on the margins,they are central to resilient food systems, biodiversity, and climate solutions. Investing in girls, education, and pastoral regions is a policy priority for a sustainable future because real change often begins at the grassroots.

Nairobi’s International Day of Zero waste brought together food, innovation, and policy in a powerful way. At the UN Grounds in Gigiri, the World Food Forum Kenya National Chapter joined partners to spotlight how local solutions can drive global impact.

From surplus ingredients turned into pesto and broths, to creative dishes like sukuma wraps and rescued tomato gazpacho—this was a true showcase of zero-waste gastronomy in action.

Beyond the plate, conversations led by Farm to Feed highlighted the need for scalable, data-driven solutions to food loss and waste.

With global momentum growing,led in part by Emine Erdoğan—the message is clear:
food waste isn’t waste, it’s opportunity.

As we look ahead to Gastronomy Week 2026, the focus remains,rethinking waste, empowering communities, and building sustainable food systems.

✨ What’s one way you reduce food waste in your daily life?

Global data point worth repeating until it drives change: If women farmers had equal access to productive resources as men, agricultural output in developing countries could increase by 20–30%.

In Kenya, that translates to an estimated 150,000 additional tonnes of food produced per year. 📈The math is not complicated. The politics are.

WFF Kenya is documenting the women already doing the work , building the evidence base so policymakers have no excuse not to act. Data is not neutral. Neither is inaction.

📊 Your voice will influence:
• National policies
• Youth-focused funding & programs
• The Global Youth Action Plan 2026

She grew it. She harvested it. She processed it. She packaged it. She priced it. She sold it.And still, official data records: 'women contribute 40% to household income.

The accounting is wrong.

WFF Kenya's 'Invisible Hands of the Food System' series spotlights the full labour chain of women farmers ,from seed to shelf. Because when we count right, we can invest right. When we invest right, women's livelihoods transform.

Which part of this chain do you think is most under-valued?

Yesterday in Nairobi, something powerful happened.
At the University of Nairobi, young leaders, partners and stakeholders came together not just for a meeting but for a shared commitment to shaping the future of Kenya’s agrifood systems.

The World Food Forum (WFF) Kenya Chapter was honoured to host leadership from the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), including:
Director, Office of Youth and Women (OYW)
Lead, WFF Youth Programmes Africalorenzo , Head, FAO Youth Programme
Judy Maina, Youth Programme Officer – Rural Development, FAO

This engagement was more than dialogue. It was a signal.
A signal that youth are not peripheral to food systems transformation, they are central to it.

A signal that Kenya’s young people are organized, ready and already leading solutions across agriculture, climate action, innovation and policy.

A signal that global institutions are listening and partnerships are strengthening.

From conversations on youth leadership and policy influence, to reflections on innovation, inclusion and the future of sustainable agriculture, one thing was clear:
👉 The future of food systems in Kenya will be built with young people not for them.

As we step into the International Year of the Woman Farmer (IYWF 2026), this moment carries even greater urgency.

We must ensure that young women farmers, innovators, entrepreneurs are not just seen but supported, resourced and heard.

This is where dialogue meets responsibility.

WFF Kenya will continue to:
Strengthen youth coordination and leadership across counties
Amplify youth voices in national and global policy spaces
Translate conversations into action through programs, partnership and community impact

If you are a young person working in agriculture, climate, innovation or food systems, this is your moment.
Join the movement. Contribute your voice. Build solutions that matter.
Because the future of food is not distant.
It is being built, here, now, by us.

Women farmers in Kenya are twice as likely to adopt drought-resistant crop varieties when they receive direct extension support ,rather than support routed through a male household head. 📊

Direct investment. Direct impact.As the Embu Agricultural Show approaches this season, WFF Kenya will document how women innovators are leading climate-smart transitions in Eastern Kenya — from soil moisture retention practices to indigenous seed selection for ASAL conditions.Stay tuned.
