## Resource

In this episode of The Battle for African Agriculture, host Dr. Million Belay sits down with Ugandan lawyer, policy advocate, and food systems activist Dr. David Kabanda to unpack one of the most overlooked dimensions of African agriculture: law and governance. From food sovereignty and corporate concentration to the East African Agroecology Bill and the urgent need for legal frameworks that protect farmers, biodiversity, and indigenous food systems, Dr. Kabanda argues that agriculture is far more than food production—it is about power, justice, and the future of Africa itself. Together, they explore why agroecology remains contested, how industrial agriculture shapes policy and narratives, the role of accountability in food governance, and why reclaiming African food systems is essential for health, sovereignty, and resilience. This conversation offers a compelling vision for an Africa where food systems are built on agroecology, farmers' rights, and democratic control.
