Over the past 5yrs the AfDB has invested heavily to improve agriculture on the continent @akin_adesina #FARAGA2020

"I'm impressed with the large number of youths moving in agriculture. The youth must be encouraged and supported to create value and wealth". - Dr. @akin_adesina Keynote Address at the 8th @FARAinfo General Assembly. #FARAGA2020 #hungerfighters

"Africa must end being the suppliers of raw materials only. We must have Chocolate, Meat, and Dairy processing factories". - Dr. @akin_adesina Keynote Address at the 8th @FARAinfo General Assembly. #FARAGA2020 #hungerfighters

"Days of small scale agriculture in Africa is over, we must now begin to operate at scale" - Dr. @akin_adesina Keynote Address at the 8th @FARAinfo General Assembly. #FARAGA2020 #hungerfighters

Research generates knowledge, knowledge drives innovation which leads to increased productivity - @LourenaArone at #FARAGA2020 with @AbdouTenkouano

Youth have enormous potential to drive agriculture but are faced with many challenges, most of which require sustained political will and action, seeing as the continent has a youthful population capable of ensuring its food and nutrition security @LourenaArone #FARAGA2020

We need to bring youth and farmers to the table because research shared will generate knowledge and knowledge will drive innovations, innovations will then drive productivity and lastly, productivity will drive economic growth - @LourenaArone #FARAGA2020

"Young people have enormous potential to transform agriculture in Africa however, we are saddled with a lack of access to adequate skills, finance and an enabling environment" - Dr. @LourenaArone, Plant Pathologist & Borlaug-Adesina Fellow, at the #FARAGA2020

Our Borlaug-Adesina Fellow from Mozambique, @LourenaArone believes the end goal of agriculture research should be for farmers to be able to use these technologies. #FARAGA2020 #hungerfighters #bafellows
