Abstract

Odusola presents Africa’s development paradox of ‘poverty and hunger amidst plenty’ as an anathema that must be reversed to turn Africa into a global powerhouse of food security, agriculture-led industrialization, and shared prosperity. The chapter argues that a well-managed transformation could help agriculture play a multidimensional and mutually reinforcing role in national development and drive achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals in Africa. Odusola argues that maximizing an agriculture-led economic transformation and pro-poor development agenda calls for an agricultural renaissance—a movement towards a deeper understanding of the future of agriculture and its fundamental role in development processes. The chapter uses a combination of analytic approaches to situate how agriculture could become a powerhouse and concludes there is no silver bullet to Africa’s agricultural transformation.
