For over 10 years, AGRA’s work across 18 countries was focused on distinct problems related to seed production, soil health, and agriculture markets that were so profound and had been neglected for so long that they required a concentrated effort to resolve. Our results have been impressive. Now, we’re embarking on an ambitious and more integrated approach in select countries. In Keeping with the role of AGRA as the catalyst for a uniquely African Green revolution, this image dashboard seeks to increase information access on Africa's Agriculture Transformation by aggregating images from our work with Implementing partners, governments, the private sector and all value chain actors.
