The contribution of irrigation to food security has been essential, and irrigated production currently accounts for 40 percent of global food production on less than a third of the world’s harvested land.

Chapter 3, “Crop Productivity and Potential,” documents and explains the causal factors for the rapid expansion in crop production in Ethiopia (official estimates show an increase in production of grain crops from 16.1 million metric tons to 30.6

In line with the role of the ATOR as the official monitoring and evaluation report for CAADP, Chapter 12 monitors progress on CAADP indicators outlined in the CAADP Results Framework 2015–2025.

This study seeks to address the gap in understanding the role of gender parity in inorganic fertiliser technology adoption in Niger.

Chapter 3 gives a detailed description of pulse production dynamics across regions and over time.
