This year the AGRF will focus on the critical issues for Africa’s food security: increasing food productivity as climate change presents more challenging conditions; promoting agricultural investment that will generate benefits at all economic levels; increasing financing for agricultural development; and support for modernizing commodity markets and removing barriers to intra-regional trade.
800 leaders from over 60 countries are registered to meet at this year’s AGRF in September. Among them are leaders from farmer associations, governments, agri-businesses and NGOs. This is the first multi-stakeholder gathering in response to the Malabo Declaration and call to action.
