Cultivating Cooperation: Ground-up solutions for productive and sustainable agricultures
Drawing on the multistakeholder ethos of the Paris Peace Forum and echoing its mission to promote dialogue between the global North and South, we explore inventive approaches within agriculture to build strong and sustainable nutrition and food systems in Africa. To challenge prevailing assumptions, encourage knowledge-sharing, and catalyze South-South cooperation, this session will bring together leaders of concrete solutions, innovative agriculture practices and community-led projects that can inspire policymakers gathered in Benguerir. Acknowledging the potential of these initiatives in their unique local context while still facilitating meaningful cooperation across regions is imperative to achieve equitable agricultural transitions in Africa.
