Rikolto (International)

In partnership with Enabel's Junior Programme, we are looking for a Junior Expert to support the implementation of an EU-funded programme focusing on the development of sustainable horticulture supply chains and food & nutrition security in Tanzania's Southern Highlands. Applications welcome until 22 September.

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.

Our first steps in building trustworthy relationships between farmers and food companies date back 15 years, to the start of our collaboration with the Belgian retailer Colruyt. In the coming weeks, we will be looking back at the history of what - certainly at the time - started as an unusual partnership.

Science gives us a better understanding of where, when, and to what degree climate change will have an impact. But the day to day reality, knowledge, and socio-economic position of the farmers might provide us with information about what the possibilities and obstacles are for the widespread adaptation of resilient practices.

MASLAGO has remained active and adjustments have been made within the group to meet the needs of the population during the Covid-19 crisis.
