A new generation is redefining what it means to lead in agriculture. Lucy Wangari Wanjiku of Kenya operates Onion Doctor Limited, a specialized onion farm that uses modern technology for pest management and irrigation. The farm serves as a demonstration site where farmers can learn practical production techniques and sustainable practices. Through her work, Lucy promotes food security, addresses challenges related to hunger and climate change, and supports the involvement of women and youth in agriculture. Her farm has hosted former President Uhuru Kenyatta and continues to focus on community impact, including a commitment to tree planting and environmental stewardship.

This opening presentation by Lucy at DialogueNEXT in Africa, explores how dedication, entrepreneurship and purpose are shaping the future of food systems across Africa.
