In Zambia, the young people are taking bold steps to reclaim the future of food. The #SKI Youth Group, featured in the Zambia Daily Mail’s “My Food is African, My Food is Zambian” column, shares how young people are embracing agroecology to transform food systems.
With the majority of Zambia’s population under 35, youth have the power to reshape agriculture making it not only productive but also sustainable, culturally rooted, and resilient to climate change. Agroecology offers them more than farming practices; it is a pathway to food sovereignty, dignity, and stronger local economies.
Through #MyFoodisAfrican young people are reviving indigenous knowledge, championing African diets, and proving that a just food future is possible when youth lead the way.
