The Cassava Kingdom Movement

What if Africa's future wasn't imported, but rooted in the ground beneath our feet?

The Cassava Kingdom Movement is a global call to action, powered by Shine Bridge Global and a coalition of farmers, scientists, investors, youth, and faith-driven leaders.

We are building a new food system from the root up through cassava-based innovations that nourish people, empower producers, and create jobs across Nigeria and the African continent.
