The sector

Feeding the region, measuring what works

Agriculture is a top priority in the Sahel and West Africa, but decision-makers often lack reliable data on yields, value chains and farm resilience.

CRAD runs field surveys, value-chain studies and impact evaluations, from cashew to pineapple, from food security to climate-smart agriculture.
