CIFOR-ICRAF had a strong presence at the recent Science and Partnerships for Agriculture Conference (#SPAC24) in Kigali, Rwanda. Our team, including Fergus Sinclair, Prof Alex O. Awiti and Patricia Masikati, made significant contributions through plenary presentations and panel discussions on #agroecology and food systems transformation. We were honored to interact with Olivier KAMANA, PS at the Ministry of Agriculture and Animal Resources, who highlighted Rwanda's use of #agroforestry for sustainable agriculture. A key highlight was Dr. Sinclair's presentation on the Five Steps to Transform Food Systems in Africa framework during the #DeSira connect days side event. DeSIRA-LIFT is a program focused on agroecological food systems transformation, a critical path towards a sustainable and resilient Africa. #FoodSystems #TreesPeoplePlanet
