This book offers new insights into the ongoing agricultural
transformation in Africa. Presenting case studies, macro-level
simulations, and relevant surveys, it analyzes food crops and agri-food
policy challenges and their implications in various African countries.
In addition, it discusses how current African agri-food policies could
be improved to achieve the continental vision of sustainable development
in light of the African Union's Agenda 2063.
The respective contributions address topics such as drivers of technical
efficiency among smallholder maize farmers; farm management practices;
agri-food infrastructure policies; food security; agricultural growth;
and financing for and investment in agricultural production.
Accordingly, the book appeals to scholars of economics and agricultural
studies and to anyone interested in the agricultural transformation of
Africa.
