Agrihouse Foundation’s Founder and Executive Director, Alberta Nana Akyaa Akosa, has been appointed Co-Director of the third edition of Rural Hack’s Food Systems 5.0 Summer School, scheduled to take place from September 3–5, 2025, in the picturesque Cilento region of Italy.

In her new role as Co-Director , She  will help guide the vision and activities of the Summer School with a  focus on making the program inclusive, practical, and inspiring for participants from across the world. She will also encourage collaboration between farmers, innovators, and young leaders, while creating spaces where people can learn from each other and share solutions that connect traditional knowledge with modern innovations.

Recognizing Her Impact

Rural Hack’s Founder and Co -Director  for the Food Systems Summer School , Alex Giordano, praised Alberta’s appointment, describing it as a recognition of her remarkable contributions to agriculture in Ghana and across Africa.

“Alberta’s appointment as Co-Director for the Food Systems Summer School is the result of her proven leadership, innovation, and deep commitment to the transformation of agrifood systems in Africa. Through Agrihouse Foundation, she has created initiatives that have not only empowered farmers but have also inspired a new generation of agripreneurs impacting rural communities, enhancing market access, and promoting sustainable practices.

As the 2023 AgriFood Prize winner, Alberta has demonstrated the vision and ability to bridge global perspectives with local realities. Her grassroots experience, coupled with her strategic foresight, will be invaluable in guiding participants to embrace complexity, communicate change, and design solutions that work in their unique contexts.”

He further described the partnership as a natural evolution of the Summer School’s mission:

“Bringing Alberta on board as Co-Director adds a depth of African perspective and grassroots innovation experience that is essential for the Summer School’s global ambition. Together, we aim to prepare participants to navigate complexity, embrace change, and lead transformative action in their communities and regions.”

Expressing her excitement about the appointment, Agrihouse Foundation’s executive director said:“I am deeply honoured and truly excited to take up this role as Co-Director of the 2025 Food Systems 5.0 Summer School. This is a powerful opportunity to connect diverse voices from Africa, Europe, and beyond, and to shape a learning experience that is both transformational and practical.

”I look forward to guiding participants as we explore the complexity of our agrifood systems and work together to communicate the urgent transitions needed. My hope is that every participant leaves not only with new knowledge but with the clarity, courage, and connections to lead meaningful change in agrifood systems in their communities and across the globe.”

About Rural Hack and the Summer School

Rural Hack, the task force of SocietingLAB, is a laboratory dedicated to digital social innovation. It applies advanced technologies including data analytics, sensors, and digital tools—to enhance agricultural production while remaining rooted in the values of Made in Italy. Its mission is to create sustainable, resilient, and inclusive food systems by harmonizing traditional agricultural practices with modern innovations.

By championing digital literacy, agritech adoption, sustainability, and cultural preservation, Rural Hack empowers rural communities, small enterprises, students, and innovators to thrive during ecological and digital transitions.

The Food Systems 5.0 Summer School , Rural Hack’s flagship initiatives,  brings together leaders, innovators, communicators, and stakeholders from across the globe to explore the complexity of agrifood systems, share solutions, and co-create strategies for sustainable transformation.

The 2025 edition will focus on two essential competencies for driving systemic change in agriculture and rural economies:

  • Cultivating Complexity
  • Communicating Transition

Over three days, participants will engage in field immersions, expert-led workshops, design thinking labs, and collaborative challenges, all designed to connect rural traditions with cutting-edge global innovations.
