The Africa Roundtable | Advancing Food Sovereignty through Agricultural Innovation

Описание: Africa’s food demand is growing rapidly, and its food industry is projected to be worth $1 trillion by 2030 (McKinsey). With 65% of the world’s unused arable land (African Development Bank), the agricultural sector holds immense potential for growth, beyond the continent.

But unlocking Africa’s agricultural potential comes with significant and interlinked challenges, from the impact of #climatechange to an infrastructure gap, and fractured supply chains.  Farmers are already tapping into new digital tools to increase crop productivity, reduce harvest-loss and improve digital access in agriculture, especially for women. In the sixth edition of The Africa Roundtable we explore how the continent can unlock its full potential as an agricultural powerhouse.
