This collection of papers offers technical analyses, policy recommendations and an overview of success stories to date. Each carefully selected paper provides valuable insights for improved policy making and defines relevant strategic priorities on Africa?s sustainable transformation process, which is in line with the international development agenda. Although agriculture remains the main source of income for Africa?s population, the sector is rain-fed subjecting it to the vagaries of weather and climate change. This volume demonstrates the rationale of developing a competitive, inclusive and sustainable agribusiness sector for Africa?s food security and structural transformation. From the impact of Bioenergy crop adoption and Drought Index Insurance to Agro-Industrialization, this volume is important reading for individual researchers, academic associations and professional bodies interested in African agricultural development. 606 $aAgricultural economics 606 $aAfrica?Economic conditions 606 $aEnvironmental economics 606 $aIndustrial organization 606 $aEconomic policy 606 $aDevelopment economics 606 $aAgricultural Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W47000 606 $aAfrican Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W45020 606 $aEnvironmental Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W48000 606 $aIndustrial Organization$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W31010 606 $aR & D/Technology Policy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W43000 606 $aDevelopment Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W42000 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAgricultural economics. 615 0$aAfrica?Economic conditions. 615 0$aEnvironmental economics. 615 0$aIndustrial organization. 615 0$aEconomic policy. 615 0$aDevelopment economics. 615 14$aAgricultural Economics. 615 24$aAfrican Economics. 615 24$aEnvironmental Economics. 615 24$aIndustrial Organization. 615 24$aR & D/Technology Policy. 615 24$aDevelopment Economics. 676 $a338.1 702 $aShimeles$b Abebe$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aVerdier-Chouchane$b Audrey$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aBoly$b Amadou$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910293146603321 996 $aBuilding a Resilient and Sustainable Agriculture in Sub-Saharan Africa$92275573 997 $aUNINA
