The purpose of this study is to galvanize and increase understanding of African governments and the international community towards realizing the food and agriculture objectives of the Lagos Plan of Action. The task before African governments to accelerate food and agricultural production to the level that will match population growth is therefore immense. Any effort in this regard must take into account the fact that nearly 900 million people about twice the present population level will need to be fed by the turn of the century. However, neither the great leap forward nor the green revolution are in sight on the continent to cope with this task.
