Sustainable Food Systems & Agriculture Task Force Side Event Sponsored by ABSA

Hosted by B20 South Africa’s Sustainable Food Systems & Agriculture (SFSA) Task Force and sponsored by ABSA, this session convenes government, private sector leaders, and regional organisations to strengthen resilience across Africa’s agrifood systems.

The dialogue builds a shared understanding of the SFSA Task Force priorities, maps potential investment pathways, and surfaces trade opportunities that can unlock productivity and inclusion at scale.

Core focus areas include addressing global food system risks, accelerating economic inclusion and on-farm/off-farm productivity, fixing trade inefficiencies across regional value chains, and scaling sustainable, climate-smart agriculture to drive innovation, resilience, and equitable growth.
