Description

Join us at Future Africa for an enlightening garden tour that delves into the critical role of Africa’s indigenous and orphan crops in promoting food security, sustainability, and agrobiodiversity. Led by Dr. Hennie Fisher and Mr. Richard Hay, this immersive experience provides an in-depth exploration of these underutilized species and their potential contributions to urban food security.

Participants will gain valuable insights into the historical, cultural, and ecological significance of these crops while exploring innovative approaches to integrating them into urban greenspaces and contemporary food systems. This tour not only highlights the resilience and versatility of Africa’s agricultural heritage but also fosters discussions on addressing global challenges such as climate change and nutrition security through indigenous knowledge systems.

Engage with thought leaders, connect with peers, and expand your understanding of how these crops can shape the future of sustainable agriculture and equitable food practices.
