Programme: Innovation and Competitiveness in African Agriculture
The objective of the Round Table was to discuss how research and innovation in technology and market organisation can make significant contributions in Africa’s fight against poverty and food insecurity. To unleash their full potential, research and innovation require enabling framework conditions, both for companies and smallholder farmers, which most African countries have not yet developed.
