Impact of investments in agricultural innovation on food security in sub-Saharan Africa
Summary. Agricultural research and development investments substantially improve food security in sub-Saharan Africa by boosting food productivity. Agricultural researchers' time proves more impactful than spending alone. Investments work effectively in Eastern, Southern, and Western Africa but worsen food insecurity in Central Africa. The study recommends increased funding for agricultural research and coordinated regional investment strategies to achieve economies of scale.
