Summary and conclusions. 330 $aThis book addresses the paradox between preponderance of hunger in a continent that is well endowed with fertile agricultural land, plenty of fresh water and a vibrant labor force. As some statistics show, close to 60% of arable land in the world is located in Africa which also has several rivers flowing in all seasons and plenty of underground water. The bulk of its labor force thrives on agriculture, yet the continent's largest import item is food. 23 of 36 the most malnourished countries also belong in Africa. This has caused significant needless human suffering. This book goes beyond providing the traditional framework of supplying policy recommendations to delivering an applied, innovative framework upon which policymakers, the private sector and international institutions can take clear and deliberate action to stimulate Africa's agricultural sector, thus responding to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. 606 $aAfrica$xEconomic conditions 606 $aDevelopment economics 606 $aAgriculture$xEconomic aspects 606 $aEconomic development 606 $aAfrican Economics 606 $aDevelopment Economics 606 $aAgricultural Economics 606 $aDevelopment Studies 615 0$aAfrica$xEconomic conditions. 615 0$aDevelopment economics. 615 0$aAgriculture$xEconomic aspects. 615 0$aEconomic development. 615 14$aAfrican Economics. 615 24$aDevelopment Economics. 615 24$aAgricultural Economics. 615 24$aDevelopment Studies. 676 $a338.1096 676 $a338.1096 700 $aOdusola$b Ayodele$0977847 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910488711103321 996 $aAfrica's Agricultural Renaissance$92227708 997 $aUNINA
