About GLF Africa 2024
Can Africa show the world a sustainable way forward? The climate crisis is taking a toll on Africa – and especially on rural communities that depend on natural resources for their livelihoods.
On 17 September, thousands of participants gathered at ‘GLF Africa 2024: Greening the African Horizon’ in Nairobi, Kenya, and online for a global conference focused on forging a prosperous and sustainable future for Africa’s land- and seascapes, driven by local solutions.
About this session
Africa’s food systems are being transformed by strategies like input intensification, advanced technologies, and AI. With smallholder farmers producing 80% of the continent’s food, what role will AI play in their future? This plenary explores two key questions: the balance between input-intensive agriculture and agroecology, and how AI can drive sustainable, resilient agrifood systems across Africa.
