Elated to be doing my professional life with these amazing colleagues @CorusIntl @NeneKodjoe @BBlonder #CathyPhiri Asante Sana My favorite moment from #CTN24 was the exploration of innovative approaches to leveraging public and private sector investment to foster CSA in Nigeria.
With 4 plenaries, 18 breakout sessions, and over 65 speakers, #CTN24 was one for the books. Thank you to everyone who made this event insightful, engaging, and possible!

According to @Heifer, only 23% of African youth see agriculture as a desirable career. This is a concern for the future of food security! At #CTN24, we explored Dr. Christine Allison's research on youth resiliency in agriculture.
