That is the reality we face every day. While our team is busy turning food waste into bio-based products, the regulatory framework to approve them is playing catch-up. Can African biotech solve global challenges? Yes. But only if our regulatory and financing systems let us.
At the @TheAGRF 2026 in #Kigali, I was challenged with an important question on a rich panel discussion. “What regulatory, financing and policy reforms are needed to enable African biotechnology entrepreneurs to scale innovation and attract investment?”

We are incredibly proud to have our very own founder on the ground at #AFSForum2026 in Kigali, Rwanda! Our mission has always been to build sustainable, climate-resilient solutions and this is the right platform to have youth voices leading that vital conversation.
I'm on the ground in Kigali for the @TheAGRF ensuring youth innovation has a seat at the table. Catch me speaking at various events & side talks on how @EcobedBiotech drives circular economy & food security. Let’s connect! #YouthInAgriculture #Biotech

The summit is creating space for youth to move beyond being beneficiaries to becoming entrepreneurs, innovators, advocates, and decision-makers; building enterprises that strengthen livelihoods, improve food security, restore ecosystems, and contribute to more inclusive futures.

You planted. You waited. The seeds never germinated. Why? For too many Ugandan farmers, this is not a rare story. It is a season-ending reality caused by something entirely preventable: fake and substandard farm inputs.

1 in 3 agro-inputs sold in Uganda is substandard or counterfeit. Fake inputs cost smallholder farmers up to 40% of their seasonal income. And when harvests fail because of inputs that were never real to begin with, families do not just lose crops. They lose food security.
