agriculture
Agriculture is the greatest and fundamentally the most important of our industries. The cities are but the branches of the tree of national life, the roots of which go deeply into the land. We all flourish or decline with the farmer.
– Bernard Baruch
Agriculture is the mainstay of most developing economies in Africa, Asia and South America. We provide expert advice in agriculture performance, agriculture transformation, market and value chain analyses, seed systems and many other agriculture constituents. We understand the political and economic trends that impact the industry and have a proven track record across a wide variety of agricultural sectors, from the farm gate, along the supply chain, to the end processors. We transcend crop and livestock production but we also focus on land governance issues as enablers of agriculture productivity. We support various clients at the regional, national, and local levels by working alongside leaders in public, private, and social-sector organizations—creating alliances and partnerships.
Why Agriculture
Arguably the most important aspect of agriculture is that it’s the source of the world’s food supply. No matter where or what you are eating, the ingredients in your meals came from somewhere. . In countries dealing with food insecurity and severe malnourishment, it’s because their agriculture sectors are suffering. When agriculture thrives, fewer people go hungry.
