Among the cocoa trees, there is a hidden treasure that producers are just beginning to discover... It's the vegetables, fruits, herbs and condiments that are grown on cocoa farms that contribute to cocoa farmers' food and nutrition security.

Robin Food, a project by Rikolto, Community Development Riso Vlaams-Brabant and enVie, is set to expand into Europe to transform food surplus into healthy food products to safeguard vulnerable families.

Meet the Generation Food entrepreneurs: They are young, ambitious and the driving force behind food system change. On 27-28 August, they took part in the Generation Food Hackathon in Arusha to develop their business ideas.

It is that time of year again… Every year, in September, the African Green Revolution Forum takes place. With this year’s topic being “feed the cities, grow the continent”, our colleagues will - virtually - share their insights on Arusha’s food system and what other cities can learn from it.

A conversation with Rikolto’s Inclusive Business Coordinator, Josephine Ecklu.

In the coming weeks, we will be looking back at the history of what - certainly at the time - started as an unusual partnership.
