Moving the Technology Frontiers in African Agrifood Systems. ReSAKSS Annual Trends and Outlook Report 2025

  • Publication | 2026

The 2025 Annual Trends and Outlook Report “Moving the Technology Frontiers in African Agrifood Systems,” advances a systems perspective on innovation, emphasizing that the true technology frontier lies at the intersection of digital, biological, engineering, and ecological innovations with institutional reform, political learning, and accountable governance. From artificial intelligence (AI), digital agriculture, and biotechnology to mechanization, irrigation, value addition, and circular bio-based systems, the report demonstrates that Africa’s challenge is not a lack of promising technologies, but the need to adapt, govern, and scale them in ways that are inclusive, climate-resilient, and economically viable.
