Informed opinions, balanced thoughts, and innovative ideas are what drives change. In this spirit, Policy Action Initiative, together with the Kenya National Farmers’ Federation (KENAFF), will host the Kenya Intervarsity Food Security Debate and Expo on September 19th and 20th, 2025, at Mount Kenya University in Thika.
If you are one of the brightest university students with a passion for food security, this is your chance to share your ideas, showcase your projects, and propose practical solutions for youth driven change in Kenya’s agrifood systems. Under the theme “Cultivating Change: Youth Driven Solutions for Kenya’s Agrifood Systems,” participants will explore strategies to improve productivity, sustainability, and resilience in agriculture.
Building on insights from the first edition organized with KENAFF and Médecins Sans Frontières East Africa, the debate will cover agroecology and organic farming, food sovereignty, agribusiness and youth employment, digital agriculture and agritech, traditional farming systems, urban agriculture, and child nutrition. The aim is to foster informed discussions and balanced solutions that respond to Kenya’s food system challenges.
At the same time, the Expo will provide a platform for youth led agribusiness innovators, academic institutions, civil society organizations, and private sector actors to showcase projects and climate-smart solutions. Companies and agricultural stakeholders are invited to book exhibition slots to showcase their innovations, connect with young innovators, and engage with a wider audience passionate about sustainable agriculture. Participants will gain exposure, build networks, and inspire ideas that can make a real impact.
