Africa stands at a pivotal moment. With 60 % of the world’s uncultivated farmland and an agricultural workforce that underpins 35 % of GDP, the continent should be feeding itself—and beyond. Yet structural obstacles, from fragmentary supply chains to climate shocks, leave Africa importing $78 billion in food and facing chronic food insecurity. Our global diaspora—160 million strong, sending home nearly $100 billion annually—represents a reservoir of investment capital, cutting-edge skills, and vital market connections.
