Thule Lenneiye - Food Security

Thule Lenneiye is a Zimbabwean- Kenyan food systems, climate action and digital transformation expert, and Chief of Staff at AGRA.

This conversation looks at why Africa’s food challenge is not only about producing more food. It is about building systems that can deliver safe, nutritious and affordable food through climate shocks, conflict, trade disruptions and economic pressure.

The episode explores food sovereignty, regional trade, digital agriculture, investment, post-harvest losses, farmer data and why governments must treat food security as part of national security.

It also looks at how the United States and other partners can support African priorities through research, climate intelligence, finance, infrastructure, universities, markets and technology without creating dependency.

A sharp discussion on food security, agriculture, climate resilience, African ownership, national security and the future of Africa’s food sovereignty.
