be at the capital or just be at the start of capital of africa you know how immense that would be for our food system right so a very good one from you to my next question you have been a delegate and a speaker of previous afs program and also receiving award on the stage congratulations lucy i'd like to ask you how this award made you feel or makes you feel what impact it has add on you you know you said that you like going to afs and do you think it's important for young people like you to strive to attend events as such and why do you think so

yes so thank you very much for accomplishing the award Like I mentioned, my first AFS was in 2023, and that was my first international trip, and also my first international speaking engagement, physical speaking engagement.

So my first AFS had a lot of fest to it.

But beyond that, the award I had won was Rising Star Agripreneur of Africa Under Wire.

So it was an award that was acknowledging that myself was a rising star agripreneur in Africa, that Africa should watch out for.

What that meant was low pressure, but acknowledgement of the fact that what I was doing from where I was doing it It's something that the world should pay attention to.

And that I really, really liked about the award.

So you mentioned being intentional with the purpose i agree with this you know especially how fast the program is the different sessions events thousands of people in attendance so could you share more light on that and why it is important and especially for young people that will be joining virtually
