Food systems are anchored in three fundamental areas: People; Planet and Prosperity. The transformation of food systems is a scorching architype across the globe, in response to concerns about the nutritional, environmental and equity impacts of our current system. Food system transformation is inextricably linked with efforts to eradicate hunger and poverty, since the livelihoods of a large share of the world’s poor people are based upon such systems and we cannot afford to leave rural people behind (IFAD, 2021). Similarly, the African Forum for Agricultural Advisory Services (AFAAS) aspires to ensure enhanced competency of AEAS providers to enable them better address the increasing needs and demands of various value chain actors, encapsulated in its goal of: Enhanced utilization of improved knowledge and innovations by agricultural value chain actors for improving productivity oriented towards their individual and national development objectives.
