Digging Deeper: Inside Africa’s Agricultural, Food and Nutrition Dynamics

Foeken, Dick, Soeters, Sebastiaan, Klaver, Wijnand, Akinyoade, Akinyinka

This volume attempts to dig deeper into what is currently happening in Africa’s agricultural and rural sector and to convince policymakers and others that it is important to look at the current African rural dynamics in ways that connect metropolitan demands for food with value chain improvements and agro-food cluster innovations. It is essential to go beyond a ‘development bureaucracy’ and a state-based approach to rural transformation, such as the one that often dominates policy debate in African government circles, organizations like the African Union and the UN, and donor agencies.
