The global pandemic has challenged Africa to find a clear pathway for food security. If Africa is to succeed, the interplay between food, markets, trade and agriculture will be critical.

This interplay goes to the heart of the 2020 Africa Agriculture Trade Monitor (AATM), launched today at AGRF’s Great Debate. During the session, leading minds on agri-food policy were invited to share their thoughts on the report in the context of COVID-19. Delivering the opening keynote, Dr Ousmane Badiane, Executive Chairperson of AKADEMIYA 2063, introduced the report’s key findings.

The third edition of the Africa Agriculture Trade Monitor (AATM) Report has been released at the African Green Revolution Forum (AGRF) during "The Great Debate".
