We’re thrilled to see an APP leader advancing this important work and creating a platform that connects African researchers with the institutions\, funders\, policymakers\, and industry partners positioned to help their work grow. \n\n\n\nAcross Africa\, researchers are advancing promising work in areas including plant proteins\, fermentation\, food processing\, and indigenous ingredient development. AFRIC 2026 will spotlight that talent while fostering the relationships and resources needed to strengthen African-led food research. \n\n\n\nThe two-day program will feature keynote presentations\, expert panels\, research showcases\, and recognition of emerging researchers through CAFRI’s African Food Research Advancement Programme. \n\n\n\nThe conference will be livestreamed on LinkedIn and YouTube\, making it easy to join from anywhere. Tune in when you can and help celebrate the researchers and leaders shaping the future of food innovation across Africa. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nUpcoming events\n\n\n\nView all events\n\n\n\n\n	\n															\n								\n		\n									\n		\n			\n								\n							\n													October 13\, 2026\n											McNamara Alumni Center\n																	\n				\n				\n					Bridge2Food North America\n				\n				\n							\n				Join GFI at Bridge2Food North America\, where food industry leaders will gather to explore the latest developments in ingredient innovation… \n\n			\n								\n										\n								\n		\n									\n		\n			\n								\n							\n													October 13\, 2026\n											FAO Headquarters\n																	\n				\n				\n					World Food Forum 2026: Protein diversification for the Global South\n				\n				\n							\n				How can protein diversification strengthen food systems across the Global South?
