Dear Wikimedians,
Wiki In Africa <https://www.wikiinafrica.org/> is thrilled to announce the
start of Wiki Loves Africa 2025! This year's contest promises to be an
exciting celebration of Africa’s culture, history, and diversity.
This year, the theme is “Farm to Plate”.
The theme Farm to Plate
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Africa_2025/Theme> calls

agricultural practices, farm products, farm machines, people farming, food
transformation and processing, cooking, restaurants, dressing on plates,
cooking material and the entire process (or a segment of it) that in
consists of transforming farm produce into food.
From today, 1st March, until 30th April, share your photos, videos, and
audio that showcase Africa's beauty, diversity, and complexity.
