The Digitalisation of African Agriculture Report, 2018-2019
"Digitalisation is crumbling all sorts of borders and African agriculture will be deeply impacted. Technologies can help stimulate innovation for sustainable agri-food systems and produce better and safer food while preserving natural resources and biodiversity.

Leonard Mizzi, Head of Unit at the European Commission, DG for International Cooperation and Development
