KENYA'S CURRENCY WOES: HOW DID IT GET THERE?

‘Situation In Khartoum Continues To Deteriorate’ • It has been over a month of violence and conflict in Sudan and few are optimistic that peace will return any time soon, exacerbating the situation in an already deflated economy.

Making Hay Under The African Sun • African Agriculture, Inc. (AAGR) is a US-based for-profit entity addressing the expanding regional and global challenges of food security and the resilience of food and food supply chain systems.

Africa's Green Economy = AGRIPRENEURS + AGRITECH + INVESTMENT • IMPROVING YIELD, EFFICIENCY AND PROFITABILITY IN AGRICULTURE COMES DOWN TO THE HARVESTING OF TECHNOLOGY. AT ITS FOREFRONT ARE THE AGRITECH INNOVATORS BRINGING TRANSFORMATIVE CHANGE TO THE CONTINENT'S GREEN ECONOMY. FORBES AFRICA PROFILES SOME OF AFRICA'S BIGGEST AGRIPRENEURS, INVENTORS, AND AGRIBUSINESS LEADERS CHANGING THE WAY WE THINK ABOUT FARMING, FOOD SECURITY AND CLIMATE RESILIENCE. THEY HAVE CULTIVATED A PASSION FOR SMART AGRICULTURE AND ARE LEADING THE CHARGE FOR SOCIAL CHANGE NOT ONLY FOR THE SECTOR BUT FOR THE CONTINENT-AND FOR HUMANITY'S SUSTAINABLE FUTURE.

What Does The Future Of Food Look Like?

INTERGENERATIONAL WEALTH: The Importance Of Financial Education • Research indicates that 70% of generational wealth gets depleted by the second generation, and 90% by the third. Standard Bank Wealth and Investment SA understands the importance of successful generational wealth transfer, and believes that it is vital to educate the next generation on the principles of managing, growing and preserving generational wealth, so that it is sustainable beyond the third generation.

IS AGRIBUSINESS SYSTEMATICALLY SEXIST?

Ripe For Disruption: Africa's Big Leap In Agritech • Robots that harvest grapes, 3D-printed drones for crops and burgers grown from a single cell? Here's how innovative new technology is making farming more efficient, sustainable and at the same time, revolutionizing agriculture across the continent.

CITYSCAPES: SOUTH AFRICA'S INFORMAL ECONOMY • The beating heart of South Africa's inner cities are the street vendors. They keep commuters fueled with fresh fruit, cooked food and drinkable water. They feed tired souls and also repair the tireless soles of those walking to and from work. They continue the legacy of indigenous practices by selling traditional African goods. They represent the niche and the creative in Africa, also selling the staples essential for survival to the working masses, often unrecognized and excluded from the mainstream financial sector. These micro-entrepreneurs offer the candor, culture and character to South Africa's thriving informal economy.

U.S.-Africa Business Summit: Opportunities For Collaboration • The U.S.-Africa Business Summit, taking place July 11-14 in Gaborone, Botswana, is the Corporate Council on Africa's premier annual event. It brings together African heads of state, senior U.S. and African government officials, and top CEO's and senior business executives from the U.S. and Africa, spanning major business sectors critical to the continent's development.
