Highlights from this report:There is a new narrative we call “Africa Rising,” which is rapidly transforming the entire African continent, unleashing a pathway toward sustainable development that will astound the world over the coming 45 years.It has been widely forecast that African agricultural economics will expand between the years 2015 and 2030 three-fold, reaching an annual value of $1 trillion in economic activity. This transformation signals the impending appearance of some $600 billion increased annual activity over the $337 billion in agricultural output reported for 2015.The rapid introduction of exponential technologies, innovation trends, demographic trends, and other key transforming factors will create dramatic changes in the status of Sub-Saharan nations and their people’s rise toward middle-class status.With optimally transformed policies and practices, African arable soils can daily supply 2000 calories of organically-produced food to as many as 12.9 billion people.One of the most effective methods of assuring soil nutrition and maximizing plant species’ natural protection against pest threats is by fully activating the spectrum of healthy bacteria which inhabit the soil base.
