In this edition, we spotlight the urgent theme of financing agri‑food systems. With Africa’s agriculture facing a $65 billion annual financing gap despite contributing up to 32% of GDP and 65% of jobs, the challenge is clear: smallholder farmers remain underserved by formal credit. Against global supply chain shocks and rising food prices, this issue calls for reimagining financial architecture and scaling innovative solutions to de‑risk agriculture. The message is simple, Africa must keep the innovation momentum to achieve sustainable food systems financing. In our cover story, Wairimu Munyinyi-Wahome, Country Director of Heifer International Kenya, shares how the organisation is shifting from simply boosting farm yields to building resilient market systems. Through the Practice for Change programme, Heifer International aims to support 625,000 households by 2030, focusing on dairy, poultry, red meat, and horticulture value chains. The approach emphasizes connecting farmers to finance, markets, and services, making them more “bankable” and closing the living income gap. Dr. Sophia Baumert, and Kennedy Okech, the projects leads for the Sustainable Agricultural Systems and Policies (AgSys) Project, implemented by GIZ Kenya in partnership with the Ministry of Agriculture, also share how the project is driving systemic transformation through innovative financing, inclusive policy frameworks, and collaborative partnerships.
