This report presents an analysis of the implementation and results of the SWITCH Africa Green programme in the agriculture sector focusing on the participating countries Burkina Faso, Ghana, Kenya, Mauritius, South Africa and Uganda. It covers the strategic interventions on sustainable agriculture such as: organic farming; weed and pest control and management; organic disease control and management; pre- and post-harvest management; composting; use of waste for mulching, and/or fuel; permaculture; certification; standards; market requirements; rangeland management; and animal nutrition and health. It analyses the results realised, cross cutting issues, challenges, lessons learned and presents a set of recommendations. The report is informed by a SWITCH Africa Green programme survey carried out in May 2018, grantee reports, case studies, peer reviews and regional stakeholder consultations including a regional sector meeting held on 27-28 November 2019 in Nairobi, Kenya. The report is one of 4 sector reports, one for each of the priority sectors of the programme: agriculture, manufacturing, tourism and integrated waste management (IWM).
