THE FUSE

The upcoming Virtual Knowledge Forum: Linking Evidence, Policy, and Action: Online Knowledge Forum Series for Sustainable Food Systems, scheduled for 20 to 22 May 2026, will bring a strong focus on practical agricultural innovation and policy alignment across Africa. The forum is designed to connect research with real farming needs, especially in areas facing climate stress, water scarcity and rising food demand. It will gather policymakers, researchers, private sector actors and development partners in one online space to improve how agricultural evidence is used in decision making. The goal is to support food systems that are more productive, inclusive and resilient under changing environmental conditions. For farming audiences, the most important value lies in how research can be turned into workable on farm solutions.
