Renowned Ghanaian agricultural content creator, Enyonam Manye is set to share her experience on sustainable farming and agribusiness at the upcoming African Food Systems Conference in Zimbabwe.
The conference, organized by Participatory Ecological Land Use Management (PELUM) Zimbabwe and Alliance for Food Sovereignty in Africa (AFSA), will take place from September 11 to 14, 2024, in Harare, Zimbabwe.
Known for her extensive work in agricultural journalism and agroecology, Enyonam will join stakeholders from across Africa to discuss the future of food systems on the continent. Her contributions to the agriculture sector have empowered smallholder farmers to build more resilient and sustainable farming systems to improve their livelihoods and promote food security.
The host of The Ghanaian Farmer show has in the last four years advocated for modern agricultural practices through one-on-one interviews with experienced farmers and agribusiness experts.
At the conference, Manye will also share her entrepreneurship journey as an agribusiness owner and opportunities in territorial markets, inspiring a new generation of African farmers and food leaders.
Enyonam Manye’s invitation to the conference in Zimbabwe came at the recommendation of Guzakuza, a dynamic institution dedicated to empowering women in agribusiness throughout Africa through the provision of comprehensive support and resources to women entrepreneurs in the industry.
Being one of the individuals named among 16 young Africans as the top influencers reshaping agriculture on the continent, she also emerged the Agri Journalist Of The Year in 2023 at the African Women in Agribusiness Awards organized by Guzakuza.
Enyonam Manye is the host of The Ghanaian Farmer TV show on JoyPrime TV and YouTube with over 52,000 subscribers and thousands of followers on other platforms including X, Facebook and LinkedIn. She is also the founder and Executive Director of Count on Crops Hub.
The budding agribusiness entrepreneur is also the brain behind the Young Farmers Development Organization (YOFDO) which aimed at nurturing young people to become agribusiness owners with decent income while contributing to food security.
The organization is currently leading a project dubbed Agric4Girls launched in May this year.
The African Food Systems Conference is expected to attract representatives from governments, smallholder farmers, civil society, academia, research institutions, private sector, media, and funders.
This event is a significant step towards promoting African food systems and championing agroecological entrepreneurship and territorial markets while contributing significantly to the continent’s efforts towards food sovereignty.
