Grant Description

The FCI4Africa project champions a holistic approach to African agriculture, promoting fair, sustainable, climate-neutral, and health-promoting trading practices while ensuring economic prosperity at all levels and respecting human rights.

It bridges the gap between technical compliance and social justice by empowering smallholder farmers and small and medium-sized enterprises, facilitating trade compliance through a digital platform, and enhancing food safety.

By evaluating the impact of certification criteria like deforestation-free, organic, and fair trade, and guiding policymakers, FCI4Africa fosters a just transition for African farmers, processors, and traders, expanding their intra-African, and EU trading opportunities.

Leveraging past projects and cutting-edge technologies, FCI4Africa connects stakeholders across diverse regions and jurisdictions, paving the way for a more sustainable and equitable African agricultural sector.
