🚁 Heli view: African agriculture is the future… and always will be?
Big guns have been brought to bear in Africa’s agricultural transition – but so far failed to supercharge the sector.
The latest example: A $61 billion African Development Bank plan to “industrialise African food systems” has run into opposition this month.
Civil society groups called the plan a “threat to small-scale farmers”.
They accuse the bank of pushing towards agro-industrialisation.
This in turn would “increase dependency on multinational corporations”.
