Abstract

Odusola argues that it is possible for Africa to use agricultural transformation to drive inclusive development, become a powerhouse of food security, shift to a net food exporter, and drive environmental quality services. He proposes policy and programmatic actions that could be put in place to leverage the power of political economy in the agricultural sector, incentivise small scale farmers’ productivity, promote special agricultural zones or corridors, stimulate entrepreneurial transformation for youth, and accelerate integrated partnerships across national, regional, and global actors. Odusola concludes that there is no silver bullet solution and that success lies in a strong policy mix of state-market-farming community partnerships and coordination, and in adopting an agricultural ecosystem approach to achieve agricultural transformation.
