Abstract

Dr Odusola vouches that Africa can turn the current agricultural paradox into a powerhouse if the suggested policy options are consistently implemented. He explains what Africa must do differently to achieve food sufficiency and become a leading net exporter of food, without compromising environmental sustainability, and to stop the wanton drain on its scarce foreign reserves, which amounts to an annual average of $78 billion. Odusola reiterates that poverty and hunger amid plenty is an anathema in an era of agricultural revolutions elsewhere. An entry point is to transform 60 percent of Africa’s micro- and small-scale farmers into commercialized, market-oriented farmers by 2040. He concludes that Africa must transform its agriculture to avoid being transformed by the rest of the world—and that the time is ripe for Africa to use agriculture to change its development narrative forever.
