Blair Commission for African Agriculture

The Blair Commission for African Agriculture was a global initiative established in 2014 to analyze and promote sustainable agricultural development across Africa. Named after its chair, former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair, it brought together experts, governments, and organizations to identify challenges and opportunities in African farming. Its goal was to recommend practical solutions for improving food security, increasing productivity, and supporting farmers' livelihoods. The commission emphasized the importance of investments, innovation, and policy reforms to transform African agriculture into a more resilient and prosperous sector, ultimately helping to reduce hunger and poverty on the continent.
