Between 2000 and 2013, Africa’s agricultural sector has maintained a real growth rate of 5.1% per year, well above the population growth rate of 2.7%. Africa’s food system is fundamentally changing, and urbanisation plays a central role in this process. Urbanisation i) creates upward demand for food production in Africa, ii) increases efficiency in post-farm segments, and iii) transforms the rural on-farm and non-farm economy (Reardon and Timmer, 2014).
