The African Century: People, Agriculture and the Environment

This multimedia project aimed to describe the role of sustainable agriculture in the African development. It focused on Ghana, striving to analyse the dynamics that are affecting agricultural development, by focusing not only on the evolution of the primary sector, but also on the role of the new technologies, the protection of biodiversity, the use of natural resources, the role of women and the threats related to the devastating impacts of climate change. The research produced a series of IAI Commentaries, a web documentary and a volume that will were presented during a public event.
