      abstract = {Agriculture has multiple functions to fulfill for the  development of the sub-Saharan Africa
countries. It should  be a source of growth and an instrument for poverty  reduction and
contribute to the provision of environmental  services. Yet it is still used far below its
potential,  with gains in land and labor productivity lagging behind  those of other regions.
Successful use of agriculture for  development will require greater attention from
governments  and donors, supported by scholarship and learning. The  economics profession
has an important role to play in  helping to re-conceptualize in a new paradigm the role  of
agriculture for development, to design and evaluate new  approaches, to contribute to capacity
building, to advise  on policy and to mobilize political support.},
