 s are keys to transformation at scale for systems as complex and dynamic a
 s food systems. So are the indices\, incentives and governance models that
  guides actors from farm to manufacture\, to store shelf\, to home\, in th
 eir willingness and ability to share and use the data in their everyday op
 eration and longer term decision. In addition\, food at the convergence in
 novation sweet spot needs to combine nutritional quality\, safety\, afford
 ability\, acceptability\, convenience\, sustainable\, and other characteri
 stics impacting the decision and action of consumers\, farmers and all val
 ue chain actors in between. Taking the country of Kenya\, the milling indu
 strial sector and the maize supply chain together in a unique multi-tiered
  use case approach\, this presentation will feature foundational principle
 s and digital innovation frameworks for integrating data sharing\, incenti
 ve and governance models that encourage value chain actors to target food 
 convergence innovation while strengthening market accountability and trans
 parency and contributing to the well being of the whole society. Presentat
 ion will address three key questions: How can digital traceability and sus
 tainability mechanisms jointly enhance food quality governance?\; What bus
 iness and policy incentives are most likely to drive industry adoption and
  investment? How might these insights shape a regional model for sustainab
 le\, data-driven food systems? Panel will bring together scholars with tec
 hnical and industry leaders engaged in the transformation and discuss chal
 lenges and possibilities in Kenya and transferability to other countries\,
  industries and agricultural commodities in tracing pathways for traceabil
 ity\, sustainability\, and finance to build resilient and competitive food
  systems.\n\n\nABOUT THE SERIES\n\nThe Convergent Innovation Webinar Serie
 s features cutting edge science\, technology and innovation in agriculture
 \, food\, environment\, education\, medicine and other domains of everyday
  life where grand challenges lie at the convergence of health and economic
 s. Powered by data science\, artificial intelligence\, and other digital t
 echnologies\, this disciplinary knowledge bridges with behavioural\, socia
 l\, humanities\, business\, economics\, social\, engineering\, and complex
 ity sciences to accelerate real-world solution at scale\, be it in digital
  or physical contexts. Initiated in the agri-food domain\, the series is n
 ow encompassing other grand challenges facing modern and traditional econo
 mies and societies\, such as ensuring lifelong wellness and resilience at 
 both the individual and population levels.\n
