The Future Agricultures Consortium is an Africa-based alliance of research organizations seeking to provide timely, high-quality, and independent information and advice to improve agricultural policy and practice in Africa. Through a network of over 90 researchers across the region and around the world, this alliance is showing how agricultural policy in Africa can help to reduce poverty and strengthen agricultural growth. The alliance's research and analysis focuses on the political economy of agricultural policy processes in Africa. This includes critically examining how and why decisions are made, the condition for change, and the practical and policy challenges of establishing and sustaining pro-poor agricultural growth.
