Futures analyses the ‘conditions for success’ if Africa is to achieve the
target set by African Union in Agenda 2063 and the 2014 Malabo Declaration on
agriculture transformation.
The study, she said, puts the
magnitude of the task into perspective and highlights the major levers in
policy, investment, technology as well as human and institutional capacity
needed to sustain access to food.
