Future Agricultures Consortium

The Future Agricultures Consortium is a learning consortium which aims to encourage critical debate and policy dialogue on the future of agriculture in Africa. It is a partnership between research-based organisations in Africa and the UK.

The Consortium aims to elaborate the practical and policy challenges of establishing and sustaining pro-poor agricultural growth in Africa. FAC works across ten themes: policy processes, growth and social protection, commercialisations, science and technology, youth, pastoralism, climate change, land, China and Brazil in African agriculture, and gender and social difference.

The website hosts all of the research outputs of the Consortiun, and the blog features comment by FAC researchers.
