Our first episode, Breaking Ground on Enhancing Innovative Financing in Agriculture, has been developed on the foundation of a substantive panel conversation that took place during the 2023 US-Africa Business Summit and that was organized by the Corporate Council of Africa.
Our expert panel, led by the Moderator Amadou Mahtar Ba, who serves as the Executive Chairman of AllAfrica, brings together a diverse group of individuals deeply invested in reshaping the financial landscape of agriculture on the African continent.

Welcome to RootsToFoods, the podcast where we dig deep into the world of agriculture, technology, and climate adaptation. I'm your host, Ovidiu Bujoran, technical director for partnerships and investments with AV Ventures, the impact investing arm of ACDI VOCA, a 60-year-old nonprofit US-based organization, and the global leader in market systems development. I designed the Roots to Food podcast series because I deeply believe in the power of entrepreneurship to solve serious societal problems such as food security, food resilience, and access to economic opportunity.
