Transforming Africa's Food Systems

Amid mounting global challenges, ending hunger by 2030 remains stubbornly out of reach. In East and Southern Africa, IFAD is working to get back on track by investing in the people who produce a third of the world’s food: small-scale farmers.

In this episode, we dive into the innovations farmers are using to transform the region's food systems for the better. Get the lowdown on nutritional education in Lesotho and discover how smart irrigation and financial tools are building climate resilience in Zimbabwe, Kenya and Malawi.

This is Farms. Food. Future – a podcast that's good for you, good for the planet and good for farmers. Brought to you by the International Fund for Agricultural Development.
