Digging deeper: inside Africa’s agricultural, food and nutrition dynamics
This book published in the African Dynamics Series of the African Studies Centre Leiden with contributions of a large group of researchers, 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. The aim of the book is to link empirical accounts of agricultural dynamics to policy debates on the need for economic transformation in Africa. The book is divided in four sections: 1) mapping the evidence; 2) agricultural production and effectiveness; 3) drivers of food production and 4) institutional issues.
