The Eastern Africa sub-region finds itself at a crossroads, facing significant opportunities and unprecedented challenges to its agricultural systems.
With a population of over 280 million, including 30 million pastoralists and agro-pastoralists, the sub-region is endowed with immense resources. The vast arable land, abundant livestock, fisheries, and aquaculture resources, along with rich biodiversity, make it a favourable place for agriculture-centred economic transformation.
