| description | Growing development challenges have renewed attention to the critical role that agriculture plays in the broad development process.The impact of agriculture extends beyond economic growth and poverty reduction to include improving health and nutrition and building resilience to climate change and conflict.While global and national promises have been made to advance agricultural development and food security, important gaps in implementation remain.To sustainably reduce poverty and improve food security, investments in agriculture -both foreign development assistance and national public expenditures -must be scaled up and adapted to exploit these new opportunities and to build resilience to future development challenges.To this end, the role of new actors, including emerging economies and the private sector, must be fully harnessed.The efficiency of public agricultural spending by national governments must also be improved. |
