H.E. @GEJonathan at #ACAT2025 closing: "Africa isn’t short on ideas or ambition—we need better coordination, transparency, and funding to unlock our agricultural potential." @aatfafrica @ilri @IITA_CGIAR
#ACAT2025 takeaway: Youth are not just the future—they're today’s co-creators. Let’s invest in them as innovators, not just beneficiaries. @ILRI #YouthInAg @aatfafrica
#ACAT2025 takeaway: Bold policy - real change. We need inclusive, transparent, and flexible Ag policies that invite youth, farmers & investors to the table. #AgPolicy #FoodSecurity @ILRI @aatfafrica
#IP in #Africa must empower, not prevent. At #ACAT2025, we heard the call to protect traditional knowledge, ensure equity, and make innovation accessible for all. #InnovationForAll #Agriculture #foodSecurity @ILRI @aatfafrica
#ACAT2025 takeaway: Innovation must be co-created by public institutions & private sector. Let’s build accessible, scalable, and affordable solutions that serve farmers, not just markets. #AgTech #SustainableAg
#Scaling #AgTech needs more than pilots. It demands behavior change, access to finance, and farmer-designed solutions. We need a full ecosystem approach to ensure no farmer is left behind. #ACAT2025 #ClimateSmartAg #FoodSecurity @ILRI
#Technology alone isn’t the solution in African agriculture. It’s the people, systems, and partnerships that bring innovation to life. Strong policies, infrastructure, and trust must align to scale impact. #ACAT2025 #LastMile #AgInnovation
Over 60% of Africans rely on agriculture, yet we spend billions on food imports. At #ACAT2025, the message was clear: farmer-centered innovation is key to food security. Let’s ensure every innovation reaches the last mile. #AgTech #FoodSystems @ILRI
Regional partnerships, like those through the @_AfricanUnion & ECOSa - are key to boosting agri-trade & transforming economies. Public-private partnerships & youth engagement must be prioritized. We need bold action to unlock Africa’s agri-future. #PPP #YouthInAg #ACAT2025
“We’re generating tons of data & tech, but not enough focus on scaling what works.” @elizabethnsima President #EAFF, we need data convergence, smarter model packaging, and real investment in farmer-led innovation. Stop reinventing the wheel—co-create & scale. #ACAT2025 @ILRI
Speakers at @ACAT2025 emphasized a crucial shift in agricultural development: co-creating with farmers to ensure their voices and knowledge drive innovation—essential for sustainable and scalable impact. 🌾 #ACAT2025 @ILRI
Snapshot from Day-1 @ACAT2025: A strong call to put farmers at the center of all Ag solutions. They're not just recipients — they're key partners in shaping the future of agriculture. #ACAT2025 #FarmersFirst #AgInnovation @ILRI
