Food & Agriculture Organization of the UN (FAO) FAO Agricultural Transformation Centres in Africa - Guidance

The African rural landscape is undergoing massive shifts as agricultural transformation efforts expand. With rising food demand and changing consumption habits caused by population growth and urbanization, many African nations face a rapid increase in net food imports. This creates a significant opportunity for the agribusiness sector to grow and stabilize food security. This publication from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN (FAO) provides practical guidance for promoting inclusive agro-industrial development. It addresses the challenges and opportunities within the changing economic landscape of the continent. By focusing on sustainable economic development and social progress, the text serves as a resource for understanding how to scale up activities that support the agribusiness sector and drive long-term growth in rural spaces.
