Much of what we know about agriculture may no longer be true, given Africa’s rapid economic growth, urbanization, high food prices, and a scarcity of quality data. At this conference, hosted by IFPRI and the World Bank, researchers will separate facts from myths about Africa’s agricultural sector, its farmers, and their livelihoods. The goal is to help governments, donors, and the private sector guide investments to ensure efficiency and greater impact on poverty reduction.
