An advisory committee of 10 seasoned practitioners in food systems, nutrition, and development is critically reviewing the findings and recommendations from the #AFSTC2024 convening. Their focus includes ensuring agroecology practices are both sustainable and profitable for the 33 million farmers in Africa. Smallholder farmers, who are the backbone of Africa's agriculture, produce around 70% of the continent's food supply, making this approach crucial for their livelihoods and the future of food systems. #AFSTC2024
