LadyAgri: A Southern Blueprint for Food Sovereignty and a Silent Indictment of Failed Western Models
The LadyAgri Impact Investment Hub, a women-led movement co-founded by Hilary Barry and Ayélé Sikavi Gabiam, is driving transformative change in African agri-food systems, empowering thousands of women entrepreneurs through structured support, data-driven methods, and innovative programmes like SAFAF in Côte d’Ivoire. This is a stunning, grassroots-led rebuke to the top-down, often exploitative international development frameworks pushed by Western institutions, showcasing the immense power of Southern agency and cooperative models over neo-colonial charity.
