Baobab is one of the most nutrient-dense wild fruits on the planet. Naturally drying right on the branch, its pulp delivers a powerful punch of Vitamin C, prebiotic fiber, and antioxidants with a deliciously refreshing, citrusy flavor.

Beyond its health benefits, wild-harvested baobab ...supports rural livelihoods and protects ancient, climate-resilient trees across the African savanna.

Healthy foods shouldn't be a luxury. We know what drives the price—and we know many of the solutions. So what’s stopping us?

It’s not your imagination. The average cost of a healthy diet has increased 25% since 2021.
👉Around one in three people globally cannot afford good... food, making the cost of nutritious food one of the biggest barriers to ending hunger and malnutrition.
👉 70-75% of the price people pay is added after food leaves the farm, through storage, transport, processing and other parts of the food system.
👉The percentage of people unable to afford a healthy diet is highest in Africa (66.6%) and double that of other regions.

We are entering a crucial period as world leaders gather across global summits. Now is the time to raise our voices together and remind decision-makers that healthy, good foods shouldn't be a luxury.

Fonio is one of West Africa’s oldest cultivated cereals and a true climate-resilient supergrain. Naturally gluten-free, rich in essential amino acids, and cooked in under 3 minutes, fonio is as versatile in the kitchen as it is vital for our food systems.

One week. Countless pots. Zero personal space left 😂

Better Off Alone? The Chefs Manifesto crew clearly didn’t get the memo — because this squad only knows how to cook up solutions TOGETHER. 🍽️🔥

After plating solutions for Africa’s food systems together, we may ...be going our separate ways, but we’ll be taking lifelong friendships, memories and lessons home with the promise of working together to achieve #goodfoodforall 🍲🕺

#AFSF2026 #ChefsManifesto #FoodSystems #BetterTogether

For Day 3 at the @afsforum culinary village, we explored the food of the future and how we will grow, fortify and share food across the continent.
