The members of the Montpellier Panel believe investment in resilient agricultural growth in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) can achieve sustainable food and nutrition security for the continent and significantly contribute to the African and global economy. To this end, the priority should be supporting the creation of: Resilient markets that enable farmers to increase production and generate income through innovation and taking risks, while ensuring food is available at an affordable price; Resilient agriculture that creates agricultural growth out of knowledge and innovation, while simultaneously building the capacity of smallholder farmers to counter environmental degradation and climate change; Resilient people who are able to generate diverse livelihoods that provide stable incomes, adequate nutrition and good health in the face of recurrent stresses and shocks.
