Africa’s future would have to be shaped by African solutions – World Food Prize Foundation President

The recognition coincides with AGRA’s 20th anniversary, underscoring the institution’s continued commitment to supporting smallholder farmers, strengthening national food systems, expanding market opportunities, and advancing inclusive, market-driven agricultural transformation across Africa.

The award recognises AGRA’s two decades of advancing agricultural transformation, strengthening food systems, and improving the livelihoods of millions of smallholder farmers across Africa.

Husain said, “AGRA has become one of the continent’s most influential forces advancing food and nutrition security, and in many ways, it reflects one of Dr Borlaug’s final and most enduring hopes: an Africa that can feed itself, nourish its people, and help feed a growing world.
