About Us

WELCOME TO THE CENTRE

At the African Centre for Agroecology and Sustainable Food Systems, we are committed to transforming Africa’s food systems through agroecology, sustainability, and resilience. Our mission is to empower farmers, researchers, and communities with knowledge, innovations, and market-driven solutions that promote food sovereignty, biodiversity, and climate-smart agriculture. By integrating traditional wisdom with cutting-edge science, we work to create equitable, nutrition-sensitive, and environmentally sustainable food systems across the continent. Join us in shaping a healthier, more just, and self-sufficient Africa—where food is not just produced but cultivated with purpose, respect, and sustainability at its core.
