AGRA Strategy

AGRA is working to achieve a uniquely African Green Revolution: one that puts smallholder farmers first while protecting biodiversity, promoting sustainability and advancing equity.

AGRA’s vision is of a food secure and prosperous Africa achieved through rapid, sustainable agricultural growth based on smallholder farmers who produce staple food crops.

AGRA’s mission is to trigger a uniquely African Green Revolution that transforms agriculture into a highly productive, efficient, competitive and sustainable system to assure food security and lift millions out of poverty.

AGRA’s strategy builds on our first two years of work, on our partnerships, and on the work of the many people and organizations dedicated to the alleviation of poverty who have come before us. AGRA aligns its work with the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Program (CAADP), developed by the African Union’s New Economic Partnership for Africa’s Development (NEPAD), which provides a framework for agricultural renewal.

AGRA’s strategy is a living strategy, whose implementation will be informed by our partners, from farmers’ organizations to African governments, and whose effectiveness will be rigorously monitored to track results, and make adjustments as necessary to ensure that the benefits flow toward those with the greatest need.

Three Main goals by 2020

1. Reduce food insecurity by 50 percent in at least 20 countries.
2. Double the incomes of 20 million smallholder families.
3. Put at least 30 countries on track for attaining and sustaining a uniquely African Green Revolution.
