Why Agriculture is Africa’s Superpower

What if the key to Africa’s economic future is already growing in its fields? 

In this episode of The Opportunity Horizon, host Enoh T. Ebong is joined by Dr. Agnes Kalibata, Founder and Chair of the Connect for Impact Advisory Group (C4Impact) and former President of AGRA. Drawing from her journey from a refugee family of smallholder farmers to serving as Rwanda’s Minister of Agriculture, Dr. Kalibata shares why agriculture is far more than seeds and yields and is an engine for economic transformation.  

Tune in on November 10 at 9:00am ET to examine how infrastructure, trade corridors, blended finance, and institutional leadership can unlock the potential of smallholder farmers and transform small-scale farming into commercially viable, investment-ready agribusinesses. 

This event is made possible through general support to CSIS.
