Innovations in agriculture hold the key to unlocking sustainable, inclusive growth potential while securing employment opportunities for young people. In India, this has given rise to a new generation of entrepreneurs and startups that have increased agricultural productivity and producer income. Key developments in Indian agriculture have been in areas such as digital innovations for pre and post-harvest management, efficient energy sources, biotechnology and the 'uberization' of farm mechanization. These innovations have opened up new avenues of engagement with the sector and created job opportunities for technology developers, entrepreneurs and agribusiness specialists. India's success in launching these innovations in smallholder agriculture has potential for replication in other developing nations, including smallholder economies of Africa, through partnerships for cooperation and knowledge transfer

This study identifies ways in which Africa can realize its potential to secure a supply of food for affordable and healthy diets through the sustainable use of its own resources. The focus is on investment, cooperation, and policy action. The agenda proposed here is intended to be a long-term one, but one that should be initiated in the short term with concrete actions.

Der Schwerpunkt liegt dabei auf Investitionen, Zusammenarbeit und politischen Maßnahmen. Die hier vorgeschlagene Agenda ist langfristig angelegt, sollte aber bereits kurzfristig mit konkreten Maßnahmen eingeleitet werden.
