Elizabeth Nsimadala is a Ugandan agripreneur, smallholder farmer, and President of the Eastern Africa Farmers Federation (EAFF). EAFF is a regional farmers’ organisation that represents over 25 million smallholder farmers from 24 member organisations in 10 Eastern African countries to achieve one overall goal: a prosperous and cohesive community of East African farmers. In this episode, Elizabeth reflects on her father’s influence in her advocacy work and why she has dedicated herself to transforming East African food systems. She digs into how the EAFF empowers smallholder farmers through cooperative organisation and technological support, and by focusing on policies to provide more funding and support to farmers.   Resources and links: Eastern Africa Farmers Federation (EAFF) website Eastern Africa Farmers Federation (EAFF) on Facebook Eastern Africa Farmers Federation (EAFF) on LinkedIn Elizabeth Nsimadala on X Elizabeth Nsimadala on LinkedIn   Connect: Future Fork podcast website Paul Newnham on Instagram Paul Newnham on X Paul Newnham on LinkedIn Disruptive Consulting Solutions website SDG2 Advocacy Hub website SDG2 Advocacy Hub on X SDG2 Advocacy Hub on Facebook SDG2 Advocacy Hub on LinkedIn This show is produced in collaboration with Wavelength Creative.
