Marking a decade of dialogue, networking and collaboration, the 10th edition of the African Diaspora Agrofood Forum is a dynamic platform for meaningful discussions, fresh perspectives, strategic partnerships and actionable solutions to advance African diaspora agrofood entrepreneurship. This event brings together entrepreneurs, policymakers, investors, researchers, development partners and other key stakeholders, to explore how diaspora entrepreneurship can contribute to transforming Africa's food systems, creating economic opportunities and strengthening connections between Africa and global markets.
The theme of ADAF26 is Reimagining Remittances: mobilizing Diaspora Wealth for inclusive agrofood entrepreneurship and Food Systems Transformation. This edition will examine how the financial resources, knowledge, skills, networks and entrepreneurial potential of African diaspora communities, can be mobilised beyond traditional remittances to support sustainable businesses, investment and inclusive economic development.
This is a two-day programme with expert discussions, knowledge exchange, networking opportunities and an exhibition showcasing African diaspora agrofood businesses, innovative products and entrepreneurial initiatives. ADAF26 aims to move beyond discussions to foster concrete partnerships, investment opportunities and collaborative actions that can deliver lasting impact.
