Behind every great establishment or thing, there is always a smaller, often ignored, group making everything work and hold. For example, you see a bowl of cooked food on your table, but that entire process starts with the farmers, the most important grassroots level for agriculture. At AFEX, we're inseparable from the small processes that make the whole and vice versa. Here’s a sneak peek at how the farmers are vital to the plate of food on your table. #AFEX #grassroot #Farmers #AFEXcampaign

Ever wonder where your food comes from and how it impacts our world? You could be eating a bar of chocolate that the cocoa was sourced in Ghana or rice from India and have no idea. Food traceability shines a light on the journey of your food, giving you the power to make informed choices that align with your values. Imagine supporting sustainable practices, prioritizing healthy options, and holding businesses accountable – all with every bite! Africa is the world's food basket, yet it has the lowest adoption of a sound traceability system. This article discusses the basic ways a working food traceability system can help us make better choices. Click the link below to learn all the ways you could benefit from an effective traceability system! https://lnkd.in/dP2ekHux #traceability #food #Ghana #Nigeria

Africa’s beauty is rooted in diverse cultures, enthralling languages, people, and stunning environments. Yet 1 in 3 Africans are hungry. In AFEX, we are working towards changing this number and offering an extra plate of nutritious food to people in Africa. The AFEX 2020-2024 Impact Report highlights some of the challenges we in Africa face and AFEX’s progress in changing the narrative. Here are two ways we are changing the face of food security in Africa: • Building resilience: Farmers with AFEX for 5+ years are more likely to rise above poverty. • Ensuring food security: We support smallholder farmers by providing access to resources for better harvests. Have you gone through our Impact report that highlights these and more? Let's build a more equitable and food-secure future for Africa.
