Mohamed Bakarr

@MIBakarr bakarr, Manager, Integration and Knowledge Management @theGEF, highlighted that Africa's agrifood systems stands at a defining moment of transformation and shared insights on what Africa must build to lead the next era of agrifood systems transformation. ​ ​Achieving this requires three essential priorities: aligning economic policies with nature, boosting domestic finance and productive energy use, and executing a whole-of-government strategy that unites finance, agriculture, environment, and trade leadership. ​ To read the full impact, learning and foresight report, go to agra.org/foresight-report/ ​ or ​ watch the full webinar here> youtube.com/watch?v=6ptPyV0Z…​ #AGRA #AGRAImpact #AGRAat20 #AGRAForesightReport

As we continue to commemorate 20 years of advancing agricultural transformation across the continent, our recently launched Impact, Learning and Foresight Report reflects on the progress made, the lessons learned, and the capabilities needed to shape the future. This Wednesday, we'll be joined by @MIBakarr , Manager, Integration and Knowledge Management @theGEF , for the webinar: From Impact to Foresight: Lessons for the Next Era of Africa's Agrifood Systems Transformation. Drawing on his experience in agrifood systems, land restoration, biodiversity, and sustainable finance, he will share reflections on the institutions, partnerships, and homegrown evidence needed to strengthen Africa's ability to drive investment and deliver impact at scale.

@MIBakarr - Manager, Integration and Knowledge Management @theGEF, highlighted that Africa's agrifood systems stands at a defining moment of transformation and shared insights on what Africa must build to lead the next era of agrifood systems transformation. #AGRAForesightReport

Mohamed emphasized that African food systems face interconnected crises:climate change, biodiversity loss, and water stress, affecting everything from farms to consumers. Therefore African countries must pursue food security and sovereignty alongside prosperity, sustainability, and resilience. #AGRAForesightReport

He also noted that the true hurdle is delivery. Resilient agrifood systems depend on healthy natural systems for pollination, water, and soil productivity. Thus, plans for nature, climate, and food systems must stop being developed separately, because food systems cannot thrive apart from nature. #AGRAForesightReport

He concluded by saying that pathways for agrifood systems transformation must protect and restore natural landscapes, sustain healthy ecosystems, and support prosperous rural communities. Whilst wrapping up he highligted the three @theGEF priorities: 1.Greater policy coherence by aligning economic policy with nature. 2. Elevating domestic finance and ensuring productive energy use within agrifood systems. 3.Adopting a whole-of-government approach across finance, agriculture, environment, and trade ministries #AGRAForesightReport
