Background

The Agriculture, Nutrition and Health Academy Week is a series of annual events that brings together the global community of researchers, practitioners and policymakers working at the intersection of agriculture, food systems, nutrition and health

Between 2016 and 2019, the ANH Academy Week was held in person, rotating between African and Asian countries in order to lower barriers to participation. In 2020 and 2021 the event took place entirely online due to the COVID-19 pandemic, while in 2022, Academy Week trialled hybrid sessions for the first time with co-hosts in South Africa. In 2023 this transition continued into a fully hybrid format from Lilongwe, Malawi.

Co-hosts

We are delighted to announce that ANH2025 will be co-hosted in collaboration with Sokoine University of Agriculture (SUA), Tanzania, along with a range of other regional partners who will be featured in the coming weeks.

Watch Parties

A watch party provides a communal space where online ANH2025 sessions can be streamed live for ANH community members to participate together-in person at academic institutions around the world. In this increasingly virtual world, watch parties present an opportunity for participants to be together physically in a fun atmosphere with opportunities to interact. We invite expressions of interest for Watch Parties from 1 November 2024. Learn more about Watch Parties.
