In what can be called the first of its kind, the Alliance for Food Sovereignty in Africa has organised the First Pan-African Chefs Gathering. The milestone continental event in Addis Ababa the Ethiopian capital would be taking a look at the Policy on African Food Systems. Organised by the Alliance for Food Sovereignty in Africa (AFSA) under the banner of the “My Food Is African” campaign, the three-day convening brings together over 140 participants, including chefs from more than 20 African countries, civil society leaders, farmers, academics, think tanks, policymakers and donors. The gathering aims to spotlight indigenous African cuisines as vital tools for cultural revival, ecological sustainability, and public health transformation.
