IFAD at the African Green Revolution Forum 2021

Pre-Summit: 6 September

The AGRF is considered the world’s most important and impactful forum for African agriculture, bringing together stakeholders from across the agricultural landscape to take practical actions and share lessons that will move African agriculture forward.

First established in 2010, the AGRF has emerged as Africa’s leading “platform of agriculture platforms” that brings together a range of critical stakeholders in African agriculture to discuss and commit to programmes, investments, and policies that can counter the major challenges affecting the agriculture sector on the continent.
