Review of Tech-Driven Transitions in African Agrifood Systems, Innovations, Impacts, and Pathways to Sustainability

The development of African agrifood systems is increasingly influenced by technological advancements to increase production, long-term viability, and adaptability.This analysis examines the changing landscape of technology-driven transitions in African agriculture, with an emphasis on innovations such as digital platforms, precision agriculture, biotechnology, and renewable energy integration.These technologies are rethinking production processes, market linkages, and resource management, providing scalable answers to decades-old problems such as climatic variability, poor productivity, and poor value chains.The review also emphasizes the economic advantages of these innovations, such as increased livelihoods, youth participation, and gender inclusion.However, technology adoption remains inconsistent due to infrastructure, legislative, and capacity limitations.To fully realise the potential of technology-driven agrifood systems, the report emphasizes the importance of comprehensive policy frameworks, investment in electronic infrastructure, and stakeholder collaboration across both private and public sectors.This analysis provides practical information for politicians, researchers, and development professionals seeking to build a more equitable and resilient agrifood future in Africa by outlining paths for long-term innovation integration.
