Established within Strathmore University Business School (SBS), SAFIC is dedicated to fostering agribusiness growth, empowering local producers, and leveraging cutting-edge research to enhance food security and economic development.<\/p>\n<p>SAFIC operates as a center of excellence, connecting researchers, policymakers, and agribusiness leaders to facilitate informed decision-making. By integrating advanced technologies, data-driven insights, and interdisciplinary expertise, the center is bridging the gap between innovation and practical application in agriculture.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Through strategic partnerships across Africa, SAFIC is co-developing solutions that enhance productivity, optimize investments from development partners, and empower farmers to seize new business opportunities. Its knowledge-sharing initiatives equip stakeholders with the skills to implement sustainable agricultural practices that boost resilience in the face of climate change and economic challenges.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>SAFIC\u2019s work is grounded in evidence-based interventions that strengthen agricultural value chains. Collaborating with national and county governments, the private sector, and development organizations, the center is enhancing visibility in agribusiness, driving policy innovation, and shaping a more competitive agricultural sector.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond research, SAFIC champions a co-creation approach, fostering collaboration among industry players to develop impactful solutions tailored to Africa\u2019s unique food security needs. By positioning itself as a catalyst for transformation, the center is not only revolutionizing agriculture but also contributing to the continent\u2019s broader socio-economic progress.<\/p>\n<p>SAFIC\u2019s mission extends beyond technology and research, it is about building an ecosystem where knowledge, innovation, and investment intersect to drive sustainable agricultural growth. As Africa navigates the complexities of feeding a growing population, SAFIC remains committed to shaping a future where agribusiness thrives, food security is strengthened, and economic opportunities abound.<\/p>\n<p>Learn more about SAFIC\u2019s groundbreaking work <a href=\"https:\/\/safic.strathmore.edu\/about\/\"><strong>ici<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":42166,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[353],"class_list":["post-42165","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-safic"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v20.2.1 (Yoast SEO v27.8) -
