Food waste and food loss are not only environmental concerns. They are also major economic, social and food security challenges that affect every stage of the food system.
In response to this reality, the Afrique Center for Statistics, Artificial Intelligence & Innovation Research (ACSAIR) is launching the Africa Food Sustainability Challenge (TAFSC 2026), a skills-based learning challenge built around a self-paced course:
