At this year’s Africa Day for Food and Nutrition Security in Nairobi, our culinary leaders joined key conversations shaping the future of healthy eating, agriculture, and food policy.

@hostedbylihle speaks on why food literacy for kids matters, because understanding what’s on your ...plate is where lifelong healthy habits start.

@chef_fiston highlights the importance of rallying the next generation and working with local farmers to secure Africa’s food future.

@chef_bigayim reminds us that soil health, policy and farmer are all connected, if farmers aren’t in the room, we miss the foundation of everything we cook and eat.

This important conversation connecting the dots around farmers, youth, and policymakers, is what we need to build a nourishing future for everyone.
