What is the Africa Fertilizer Summit's Purpose?
Purpose
of the Summit—NEPAD,
the African Union and IFDC are implementing the Summit to
increase the awareness of the role that fertilizer can play in
stimulating sustainable pro-poor productivity growth in African
agriculture and to discuss approaches for rapidly increasing
efficient fertilizer use by African smallholder farmers.
Goal of the Summit— to
build a consensus around the key issues in increasing fertilizer use
in Africa and agree on a strategy for developing an Africa
Fertilizer Action Plan that will accelerate the access of millions
of poor farmers to fertilizer and other complementary inputs to help
them raise their farm production, achieve food security, and reduce
poverty. |
