Abstract.

This e-Book of Executive Summaries emanates from a conference held by the AMAA in 2023 with the objective to “create a platform that fosters collaboration among diverse stakeholders, local actors, and visionaries to design innovative and transformative initiatives for modernizing African agrifood systems.” The conference was built on special sessions held at ASABE‘s Annual International Meetings in June 2020, July 2021, and July 2022 and was the first in what AMAA envisions as a series of events to be hosted in different parts of Africa by the AMAA. The content captures highlights and key take-home messages from the conference and features selected papers presented around AMAA‘s four Foundational Pillars— (1) Technology, Methodology, and Innovation; (2) Business Development and Entrepreneurship; (3) Capacity Building and Workforce Development; and, (4) Infrastructure and Policy Frameworks—as well as cross-cutting themes that are important in modernizing African agrifood systems.
