This Legal Brief addresses the enabling environment for protection and promotion of native foods, seeds and knowledge specific to African countries. It provides insights for parliamentarians into policy and legislative measures for protection, conservation and promotion of native and traditional foods, seeds, and knowledge in Africa. A practical checklist of legislative, budgetary, and advocacy actions is provided to guide parliamentarians in integrating native foods and knowledge into national food security, nutrition, and climate resilience strategies. The brief emphasizes gender equality, farmers’ rights, and community participation as essential pillars of effective agrifood systems transformation.
