The list
Every year the African Food Network names the 100 people doing most to move African food forward, from the farm to the plate.
The 2026 list is revealed on Sunday 13 December.
Tell us who should be on the next list, and why. We read every recommendation.
Recommend, never apply. It is free, and nobody pays to be on the list.
