Food System Development

At the American Food Safety Academy (AFSA), we specialize in strengthening both rural and urban food systems through integrated, evidence-based approaches. Our work supports resilient, equitable, and sustainable food systems that benefit all actors—from producers to consumers.

End-to-End Food System Services

We offer comprehensive support across the entire food system, including input supply, production, processing, distribution, marketing, and consumption. Whether you're working with smallholder farmers or urban food markets, AFSA helps optimize every link in the chain.

Cross-Sectoral Integration

Our experts analyze and strengthen the interlinkages between agriculture, food systems, water resources, food safety, and climate change—ensuring that interventions are holistic and future-proof.

Support for Traditional Food Systems

AFSA also values and supports traditional and indigenous food systems, offering guidance on preserving local knowledge while integrating safety, nutrition, and sustainability principles.
