We rounded out #CTN24 with insights from private sector experts on adjusting in the face of accelerated climate change. The panelists emphasized the importance of multi-actor relationships to build resiliency in the agriculture sector.

[Credo Advisory @credoadvisory]

According to @Heifer, only 23% of African youth see agriculture as a desirable career. This is a concern for the future of food security!

At #CTN24, we explored Dr. Christine Allison's research on youth resiliency in agriculture.

[Cracking the Nut @crackingthenut]

@SCLfuturefoods demonstrated their regenerative agriculture practices with a model farm in their session today at #CTN24. What an engaging opportunity for participants to see SCL's practices in action! 🌱

[Cracking the Nut @crackingthenut]

We have another exciting Plenary Panel lined up! Hear from private sector experts – Kamaldeen Raji (@AFEXNigeria), Habiba Suleiman (@TheTGIGroup), and Femi Adeniyi (@TheAgroMall) – on how they’re adjusting for climate change at 4:30pm in Congress Hall!
