AGRA_852

A worker carries cassava roots after they were pulled from the ground during a harvest at the farm of Aolil Pedro in Murrupula Mozambique on August 9th 2016. Pedro took part in an AGRA cassava farmers program that allowed him to gain access to a small amount of land and new varieties of cassava that are resistant to disease that plagues older forms of cassava that are traditionally grown in Mozambique. The AGRA program helped to develop 11 new varieties of cassava that are now being used around the country. The program also connected farmers with resources to find places to sell their cassava.

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.
