From Lab to Mouth

Healthy Food Africa initiative

Transformations towards sustainable food systems are necessary and will become more pressing in light of climate change, especially in parts of Africa like Ghana, Benin, Uganda, Kenya, Ethiopia and Zambia. In response, entrepreneurs, businesses and policymakers are developing food system innovations through the use of so-called Living Labs. But how prepared are intended users (especially households ) to adopt these food system innovations? That is the key challenge this Incubator team will seek to address. The aim is to build on the work of Healthy Food Africa, a consortium comprised of 10 food system labs in 10 cities and 6 countries in Eastern, Western, and Southern Africa. There the focus was more on what the innovations should be, and this Incubator aims to explore how to adopt them.
