Global Foodnet is a network that brings together food innovators in Kenya, southern Africa, Peru and Finland developing foods from indigenous foods with indigenous knowledge.

Global Foodnet will feature in University Innovation Global’s SouthVation webinar series, to tell the stories of food innovation from indigenous foods with indigenous knowledge.
The webinar Bring Your Own Food Product is the first in a three-part webinar series which will culminate into UI-SouthVation’s Challenge 2021.
