Agriculture in Africa — Telling Facts from Myths

International Food Policy Research Institute

2033 K Street, NW, Washington, DC. Fourth Floor Conference Facility

United States

June 15, 2015

  • 1:00 – 9:00 pm (America/New_York)
  • 7:00 – 3:00 am (Europe/Amsterdam)
  • 10:30 – 6:30 am (Asia/Kolkata)
  • Are women in Africa doing all the farming?
  • Can Africa’s postharvest loss really be that high?
  • Is input use still dismally low? Is land still abundantly available and land rental non-existent?
  • Are Africa’s youth exiting agriculture en masse?

Come and join us at an IFPRI-World Bank conference featuring 15 revealing Ignite-style presentations. The panel discussions are based on research conducted by an international consortium of universities and international organizations led by the Chief Economist Office of the Africa Region of the World Bank, and are intended to scrutinize conventional wisdom about African agriculture. Co-hosts Shenggen Fan, Director General of IFPRI, and Makhtar Diop, Vice President of the Africa Region of the World Bank, will make opening remarks, and the expert panels will reflect on the research findings and their implications.

Registration for this event is now closed. Conference will be streamed in its entirety on this page.
