<p>The European Union is currently pursuing, through the Green Deal strategy and the Farm to Fork program, to make food production more environmentally friendly, reduce food waste, and ensure food security. However, in low and middle-income countries, particularly in Africa, the situation is completely different from that of the European Union. Major weaknesses identified in African regions, in the context of the NEEMA project (e.g., gender inequality, reliance on rain-fed agriculture, lack of access to quality seeds, micronutrient deficiencies, among others) were analyzed to determine how European practices could be adapted to address these issues. The purpose of this manuscript was to elaborate on different case studies from European countries which could serve as models to be implemented to increase resilience in African food systems. However, it is essential to integrate local culture, food environments, and the specific challenges faced by these regions, such as security threats and climate variability, into the design and implementation of resilience strategies. This tailored approach could enable West African and Sahelian countries to integrate sustainable European practices with local expertise, fostering long-term resilience, enhancing food security, and paving the way for a healthier, more self-reliant future.</p>
