<p>As the most important sector of the African economy, agriculture has potential to reduce poverty on the continent, increase food security and improve nutrition. The Malabo Declaration outlines that Africa shall be food secure by 2025, in the process decisively eliminating hunger and poverty, tripling intra-regional agricultural trade and significantly improving community and household-level resilience.
