| Abstract: | Africa has inherited highly arbitrary political borders that vastly complicate current efforts to accelerate agricultural growth and reduce hunger. By partitioning agro‐ecological zones and natural market sheds, current borders serve as barriers, hampering agricultural technology transfer, hindering agricultural trade and dampening incentives for farmers and agribusinesses to invest in Africa's many regional bread‐basket zones. Feasible solutions revolve around neutralising these deleterious effects through regional scientific networks and corridor development programmes. |
