Abstract
Sustainable economic development in Africa will require transformation in the agricultural sector. Under the Comprehensive African Agriculture Development Program (CAADP) processes and the African Union’s Agenda 2063, political support for African agricultural development, and the role therein of science, technology, and innovation, has reached an apex. However, transformation at the country level is weakened by critical human capacity shortages. International evidence confirms the fundamental role of agricultural education and training (AET) in agricultural development, and there is a wealth of evidence supporting the role of higher education for accelerated development and transformation in Africa. Yet, AET has been much neglected in agricultural strategies and action plans in many countries. Building on international examples, the chapter outlines a roadmap toward an ideal AET system in Africa.
