In this episode, we explore Africa's bioeconomy agendas with Dr. Ousmane Badiane, Executive Chairperson of AKADEMIYA2063. We discuss how African nations are aligning with the Paris Agreement to address climate change impacts on food systems, the commitments made at COP28 related to climate finance for sustainable agrifood systems, and successful examples of incorporating bioeconomy principles into national policies. We also explore the role of renewable energy in strengthening food systems and the collaborative frameworks necessary to support this transition under the Global Green Agenda.
