The African Green Revolution Forum (AGRF) is the world’s premier forum for African agriculture, bringing together stakeholders in the agricultural landscape to take practical actions and share lessons that will move African agriculture forward. In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Tenth Annual Summit will be held virtually from September 8 to 11, 2020. The Virtual Summit is co-hosted by the Government of Rwanda and the AGRF Partners Group. The event will bring together thousands of delegates from governments, civil society, the private sector, the research community, and development partners.
The theme of the summit, ‘Feed the Cities, Grow the Continent: Leveraging Urban Food Markets to Achieve Sustainable Food Systems in Africa’, is a call to action to rethink our food systems to deliver resilient, better nourished, and more prosperous outcomes for all.
IFPRI is participating in the AGRF.
