Africa’s food systems must be judged by what farmers earn – AGRA
Africa’s food systems must be judged by what farmers earn, a new Impact, Learning and Foresight Report published by AGRA has said.
AGRA, a pan-African institution focused on scaling agricultural innovations, recently published a report highlighting the need to judge Africa's food systems by what farmers earn. While acknowledging significant progress made over the past two decades, the report titled "Africa's agrifood system transformation and the path ahead" emphasizes that more work is required to transform the continent's food systems.
The report underscores advancements in breeding capacity, seed companies, national agricultural research systems, fertilizer use, access to quality inputs, agricultural advisory services, and off-farm agrifood employment. By focusing on farmers' earnings, AGRA aims to measure the true impact and success of agrifood system transformation in Africa.
