AFSA Newsletter: May-August 2025
From the heart of continental advocacy to the farmlands and markets where change is being cultivated, AFSA’s latest Quarterly Newsletter (May to August 2025) captures a season of powerful action, bold voices, and strategic wins. This edition documents how AFSA and its members are shaping Africa’s food future through landmark initiatives, from the trailblazing African Chefs’ Gathering in Addis Ababa to the release of bold policy briefs confronting the role of Development Finance Institutions in African agriculture. Whether advancing Farmer Managed Seed Systems, defending land rights, or taking agroecology to the negotiating tables of COP and CAADP, the newsletter offers a panoramic view of a movement in motion.
Inside, readers will find exclusive coverage of AFSA’s field dialogues across East Africa, a unified voice emerging from the Congo Basin, and the growing alliance of African journalists committed to rewriting food systems narratives. It also sheds light on how faith leaders, youth, and civil society are pushing back against extractive seed laws and pesticide exports, all while scaling agroecological enterprises and strengthening territorial markets.
With voices from Kampala to Dakar, and strategies rooted in sovereignty, biodiversity, and justice, this issue is a vital resource for anyone tracking the pulse of Africa’s agroecology movement. Published in both English and French, the newsletter is a call to engage, to amplify, and to act.
