Fresh from its impactful participation at the #AFSForum2025 in Dakar, PARM has proudly sponsored the second episode the African Food Systems Forum podcast. In this episode, Edson Mpyisi, Chief Financial Economist and Coordinator of the Enable Youth Program at the African Development Bank Group talks with Harriette Foulkes-Arnold of the Africa Food Systems Forum about Africa’s youth and how critical it is to encourage entrepreneurship among the youth.
PARM’s engagement at the Forum highlighted a powerful message: managing agricultural risk is key to unlocking investment, boosting resilience, and enabling youth to thrive in agrifood systems. From innovative financial mechanisms to climate-risk insurance solutions, agroecology, access to weather and market information, hydroponics, irrigations systems, and more, PARM continues to drive scalable solutions for Africa’s next generation of agri-entrepreneurs.
