African agriculture is currently at a crossroads, at which persistent food shortages are compounded by threats from climate change.

To achieve this Africa has to define agriculture as a force in economic growth by advancing scientific and technological research, investing in infrastructure, fostering higher technical training, and creating regional markets.
