Ensuring a healthier Africa now and into the future demands a smart, sustainable food system to deliver diets rich in nutritious, plant-based foods such as African traditional vegetables. These crops were in the spotlight during Power on Your Plate: All-Africa Summit on Diversifying Food Systems with African Traditional Vegetables to Increase Health, Nutrition, and Wealth, 25-28 January 2021 in Arusha, Tanzania and online. The summit sought to advance knowledge and ideas to expand the production and consumption of the crops poised to become Africa’s superfoods.
