On 18-20 June 2024, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) organized, in collaboration with the Ministry of Forestry and Wildlife (MINFOF) of Cameroon, a workshop for African countries to identify challenges and region-specific actions to unlock the full potential of forest-based agrifood systems, with a specific focus on forest plants, fungi, insects and animal species, often referred to as non-wood forest products (NWFPs). Over 60 participants joined in the workshop, sharing experiences and lessons learned from Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Egypt, Gabon, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Jordan, Kenya, Malawi, Mali, Mozambique, Namibia, Saudi Arabia, Senegal, Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda and Zimbabwe.The workshop aimed to develop a collective narrative for the continent concerning forest-based agrifood systems and their contributions to food and nutritional security.
