African Agri Council (AAC) - Cape Town - South Africa

The African Agri Council (AAC) is a pan-African institution focused on transforming the continent’s agricultural sector into a sustainable, business-driven industry. By uniting global executives, policymakers, and stakeholders, the AAC aims to eradicate food scarcity and achieve Zero Hunger by 2030, aligning with global sustainability targets.

To advance this mission, the council mobilizes substantial investments, including targeted funding for verified agricultural projects and initiatives designed to scale productivity. It fosters collaboration among governments, financiers, investors, and farmers, convening stakeholders annually to drive innovation and sector growth. Events like the African Agri Investment Indaba highlight efforts to shift agriculture from subsistence farming to a profitable, scalable enterprise.

Recent initiatives include partnerships to boost regional investment and programs recognizing young leaders shaping Africa’s agricultural future, such as the 40 Under 40 awards. By prioritizing sustainability and economic empowerment, the AAC is paving the way for a food-secure Africa, ensuring resilience and prosperity for communities across the continent.
