A big congratulations to the AyuteAfrica challenge 2022 winners - Brastorne, DigiCow Dairy App and ThriveAgric.

Young innovators who are making agriculture attractive to the African youth, and driving 'last mile' impact with technology.

Great work teams!!

I look forward to witnessing the impact the Heifer International and MastercardMEA partnership, 'The Heifer Farmer Visibility Initiative' powered by Mastercard Community Pass, has on the development, access to finance and increased living incomes for smallholder farmers on the continent

'Working across the agricultural sector to support and build resilience requires the interplay between insurance and finance. Insurance secures farmers' income even after the impact of climate and enables access to finance' - Adesuwa Ifedi, SVP Africa Programs, Heifer International #AGRF2022

I can't wait to be part of transformative discussions at AFS Forum that will unlock opportunities for smallholder farmers and uncover bold actions for resilient food systems in Africa.

DYK: Agriculture contributes 40% of GDP in Africa and accounts for 60% of the continent’s labor force, but receives only 4% of long-term financial investments?

Adesuwa Ifedi and Jehiel assert that this needs to change.
