Future-Proofing Africa’s Grasslands: A Climate-Resilient Approach

Africa’s grasslands are under threat from climate change, overgrazing, and land degradation, endangering the livelihoods of millions who depend on them. In this episode, Dr. Theo Akpensuen, researcher and lead author of a groundbreaking study, discusses how multispecies swards—a mix of grasses, legumes, and herbs—could revolutionize sustainable farming, restore soil health, and enhance food security across the continent.

Join us as we explore the urgent need for investment and policy change to build climate-resilient grassland systems that secure Africa’s agricultural future. 🌱🌍
