Chapter Chapter 9 in Africa's Agricultural Renaissance, 2021, pp 305-337 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Odusola examines innovations driving agricultural transformation in China, India, South Korea, and Taiwan and explains how these countries were able to use a small proportion of arable land to feed a large share of the world’s population, substantially reducing global poverty and exclusion. He draws lessons from successes and challenges from these countries towards driving agricultural transformation in Africa. Odusola analyses what Africa could learn from Asian strategies for enhancing farmers’ capacities, levels of political support and commitment, approaches to state-market-farmers interactions, commitments to integrated and long-term approaches to agriculture, transitions from traditional to high-value crops, and the extent to which rural transformation is integrated into agricultural development. The chapter concludes that each country offers unique inspirations for Africa towards becoming an agricultural powerhouse.
