These conclusions were highlighted at the round table on Science, Technology and Innovation that was part of the first day of the "Africa-Americas Summit on Agri-food Systems", a meeting that brings together ministers, deputy ministers and senior officials of Agriculture, Environment and Science and Technology from 40 countries.

The Summit, which seeks to foster the sharing of experiences to accelerate positive transformations in agrifood systems, was convened and organized by the Inter-American Institute for Cooperation on Agriculture (IICA), the African Union Development Agency -New Partnership for Africa’s Development (AUDA-NEPAD) and the Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA) at a particularly momentous point in time, when global food security is being threatened by a war and overlapping health and environmental crises.
