SWANEPOEL, Frans  y  MENTZ-COETZEE, Melody. Developing Africa's next generation of scientists for sustainable food systems transformation. S. Afr. j. sci. [online]. 2025, vol.121, n.7-8, pp.1-4. ISSN 1996-7489.  https://doi.org/10.17159/sajs.2025/22263.

SIGNIFICANCE: We reflect on the FSNet-Africa model of strengthening research capacity for food systems transformation in Africa. By equipping early-career researchers with skills to undertake engaged, transdisciplinary research and fostering collaborations with stakeholders, the model has led to context-relevant innovations and strengthened policy linkages. Outcomes include improved researcher competencies, international partnerships, and tangible tools for food system resilience. The FSNet-Africa approach demonstrates how locally grounded, stakeholder-informed research can drive sustainable change, offering a replicable model for building the next generation of African scientists committed to equitable and inclusive food systems development.
