[SIANI] The agricultural sector in Africa holds tremendous potential to address poverty and improve livelihoods, health, economic development, and environmental sustainability. Yet African agricultural investment is shaped by a complex mix of demographic, ecological, political, and market pressures. The lack of cohesion in the definition of “sustainable agriculture” hinders systemic approaches, stressed David Laborde, Director of the Agrifood Economics Division, FAO.
In this context, as part of the Paris Peace Forum, Atlas organised a roundtable to bridge the gap between African agri-food systems potential and the current under-investment.
