African perspectives on the transformation of food systems

In 2022 SIANI will initiate a new programme phase and the SIANI secretariat is now excited to invite you to a conversation contributing to shaping this new phase. How can we transform our food system into something that is sustainable, resilient and inclusive? And how can SIANI as a network come together and contribute during 2022?

The three annual meetings will be an opportunity to connect, share ideas and exchange experiences to forward the discussions on inclusive and sustainable food systems transformation.

Each day of the SIANI Annual Meeting 2022 will have a different geographical focus as outlined below. Please note that you will have to register to each separate event. We hope to see you in all of them!
