FCI4Africa – Fair Food and Trade Systems for Africa through Food Convergence Innovation

FCI4Africa aims to promote fair, sustainable, climate-neutral, and health-promoting trading practices in the African agriculture while ensuring economic prosperity at all levels and respecting human rights.
By empowering smallholder farmers and small and medium-sized enterprises while also simplifying trading processes, the goal is to bridge the gap between technical compliance and social justice.
FCI4Africa wants to foster a just transition for African farmers, processors, and traders, expanding their intra-African, and EU trading opportunities.
