Boosting farm productivity in Africa through the sustainable use of machines
New African Union-FAO framework also aims to create new jobs while reducing reliance on manual labor
FAO and the African Union launched a new framework document that aims to increase agricultural efficiency and reduce drudgery by helping countries in Africa to develop strategies for sustainable farm mechanization. The Sustainable Agricultural Mechanization: A Framework for Africa (SAMA) is the result of discussions with policymakers from AU member states, the AU Commission, FAO and key partners. It offers a detailed look at the history of machinery in Africa and points the way towards addressing challenges and creating new opportunities to assure the successful adoption of mechanization.
