Panel event: Building a fairer food system in the face of the climate crisis
What does a truly equitable food system look like in the face of climate change?
And more particularly, how will we tackle the crisis in the continent most threatened by climatic shocks: Africa. Where 110 million people have been directly affected by dramatic climate events.
A thoughtfully selected panel will bring diverse perspectives from rural smallholders, academia, private philanthropy and business in agriculture to provide actionable steps we can all take to create a just and sustainable global food system.
Meet Meshark Sikuku
Meshark Sikuku, Ripple Effect’s uniquely experienced leader on Sustainable Agriculture in east Africa, is visiting London for the first time in January. He will be meeting with partners, policymakers and the media to make the case for investing in rural African smallholders as powerful agents for change.
This is your chance to meet with Meshark in person. Please join us for this challenging and inspiring panel event, generously hosted by the Financial Times at their London offices.
