Food matters, particularly food system challenges have had an immense impact on the African continent and its people. Global Health and Nutrition Targets (<a href=\"https:\/\/globalnutritionreport.org\/resources\/nutrition-profiles\/africa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Global Nutrition Report, 2022<\/a>), as well as those related to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) have been impacted also. These impacts are predicted to be even direr by 2030.<\/p>\n<p>Cognizant of the gravity of the situation, and the urgency to address them, many initiatives working towards improving food systems and food environments have been valorised by the 2021 United Nations Food Systems Summit (UNFSS). Several other regional and local initiatives exist with goals complementary to the UNFSS. One of these initiatives includes the Africa Food Environment Research Network (FERN). FERN was birthed to among other things contribute to 1) building research capacity for innovative food environment research in Africa; 2) fostering partnerships within Africa (South\u2013South partnerships), and beyond (South\u2013North partnerships) to stimulate robust food environment research and monitoring; and 3) sustaining dialogue and focusing priorities around current and future needs for enhanced food environment research and monitoring in Africa (<a href=\"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/abs\/10.1177\/17579759221126155\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tandoh et al., 2022<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>By focusing on research, partnerships and dialogues, FERN provides a platform for knowledge exchange, collaboration and capacity building. At the inaugural meeting of the FERN initiative in November 2020 (FERN2020), participants were introduced to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.informas.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">INFORMAS<\/a> Food-EPI and Food Prices Modules to stimulate interest and capacity development. A cardinal output of this meeting was identifying research priorities and opportunities for improving research on food environments and related policies in Africa (<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1093\/advances\/nmac019\">Laar et al, 2022<\/a>). The second convening of FERN \u2013 in 2021\u2013 aimed to leverage the network to transform Africa\u2019s food systems (see details here <a href=\"https:\/\/www.meals4ncds.org\/en\/fern2021-presentations\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.meals4ncds.org\/en\/fern2021-presentations\/<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>In collaboration with the <a href=\"https:\/\/foodsamsa.samrc.ac.za\/\">Food-SAMSA Project<\/a> and other FERN partners, FERN2023 is envisioned to be an \u2018<em>INDABA\u2019<\/em> that facilitates the identification, collation and valorisation of Africa-focused food environments research, policy, and practice initiatives. FERN2023 will be online and is scheduled to take place in November 2023.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>The objectives of FERN2023 are:<\/strong><\/h5>\n<ol>\n<li>To facilitate the identification, collation and valorisation of Africa-focused food environment related research, policy, and practice initiatives.<\/li>\n<li>To connect researchers in the African sub-region and Global North whose work relates
