Le Lionceau is a Senegalese social enterprise driving food systems transformation by turning Africa’s forgotten and lost crops into nutritious, locally made baby food. Founded in 2019, the company preserves Africa’s culinary heritage while working with smallholder farmers to reduce post-harvest losses and create economic opportunities for women across the food value chain. By producing and distributing high-quality infant foods, Le Lionceau improves nutrition and access to healthy diets through supermarkets, online platforms, and community-based rural networks. As it scales up industrial production and strengthens partnerships with governments through health centers and school meal programs, Le Lionceau is building one of West Africa’s largest baby food hubs, with a pan-African vision to transform how the continent nourishes its children while building the health and resilience of future generations.
