Elizabeth Nsimadala is a Ugandan agripreneur, smallholder farmer, and President of the Eastern Africa Farmers Federation (EAFF). EAFF is a regional farmers’ organisation that represents over 25 million smallholder farmers from 24 member organisations in 10 Eastern African countries to achieve one overall goal: a prosperous and cohesive community of East African farmers.

In this episode, Elizabeth reflects on her father’s influence in her advocacy work and why she has dedicated herself to transforming East African food systems. She digs into how the EAFF empowers smallholder farmers through cooperative organisation and technological support, and by focusing on policies to provide more funding and support to farmers.
