Ahead of the fifth AU-EU Agriculture Ministerial Conference on June 30th, 2023, Africa’s largest social movements and civil society organizations held a virtual press conference demanding a transition of African food systems away from corporate-control and towards agroecology.

HIC was represented at the task team that drafted the statement by Sam Ikua, from Mazingira Institute, HIC Member.
