| A strategy for agricultural research in sub-Saharan Africa |
| In its study "African agriculture: the next 25 years" (1986) FAO concluded that sub-Saharan Africa has the potential to increase agricultural production. If the potential is properly mobilized, a number of countries in the region could become self-reliant and their
economic situation would then be more manageable. One proven approach to mobilization is through agricultural research.
