Drawn from the University of Regina’s tagline and inspired by a spirit of hope and compassion, it acknowledges that only through a collective spirit do we stand the best chance to succeed. Each of our 2024 featured speakers embodies that collective spirit in their own ways and are doing their part to change the world — and the role of women in it.

April 3 - Co-op Conversation: Co-operatives and Food Security in Africa featuring Dr. Machiweyi Kunzekweguta


Food security remains a pressing global issue, particularly in developing countries. The global population experiencing chronic hunger increased to 9.2% in 2022, up from 7.9% in 2019. In Africa, food security is closely linked to smallholder agricultural production, as rural households contribute more than 70% of food that is consumed. Governments and development agencies are actively exploring ways to improve smallholder agricultural productivity, with co-operatives emerging as a promising solution.

In this Co-op Conversation, Dr. Machiweyi Kunzekweguta explores the potential of co-operatives in mitigating food insecurity. Factors that enhance or limit the impact of co-operatives will be discussed.
