AB  - 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.
