Editorial : Transforming African food systems

Abstract

It is now widely recognized that food systems in Africa need to urgently transform with the goal of delivering universal access to sustainable, healthy diets for all. Despite political will and agreements via the UN Food Systems Summit (2021) and the 4th CAADP Biennial Review (2024), progress in transforming African food systems remains far too slow and nutritious diets remain inaccessible to more than 1 billion people in Africa.
