Abstract

There has been increased demand for food not only on the African continent but globally. This has been largely attributed to the high population growth with changing food preferences. This calls for the transformation of Africa’s agriculture and food systems through transforming agricultural production, markets, agricultural education and training institutions. Agricultural training institutions such as universities and agricultural colleges have a lot to contribute but they need to run relevant curricula in order to produce well trained human resource that will guide stakeholders in production, value addition and marketing, hence quality and quantity food supply.
