Who shapes Africa’s food future—and whose interests does it serve? AFSA’s July–September 2026 newsletter follows a quarter of action connecting farmers’ fields, parliamentary debates, climate negotiations and public discussion. In this edition: 🌱 The Pan-African Parliament advances a continental Model Law on African Food Policy, opening a new pathway for food sovereignty and agroecology in legislation. 🌍 Participants from six Congo Basin countries adopt a regional agenda for agroecology, biodiversity and climate justice. 🤝 More than 130 participants from 33 countries come together in Ethiopia to shape a common African civil society position towards COP31 and COP32. 🎙️ Farmers, young entrepreneurs, researchers and journalists bring practical alternatives—and critical questions about seeds, finance and power—into the conversation. The editorial’s message is clear: progress brings responsibility. We must carry this momentum forward so that the people who grow, protect, prepare and depend on Africa’s food have a stronger voice in shaping its future. 📖 Read AFSA’s third-quarter newsletter, “Reclaiming Sovereignty, Building Futures,” available in English and French.
