Speech by Dr. Benjamin Laag, Head of Cooperation of the German Embassy In Côte d’Ivoire at the Conference on Land Policy in Africa
Africa is a rich continent. It has vast agricultural and land resources and thus the potential to feed all people living on the continent. We observe technological improvements in agriculture, as well as in geospatial sciences and other relevant land sectors. Thus, the tools are available to implement policies to ensure fair and sustainable land policy in every country. However, there is still a considerable gap in what is proven to work and what is implemented in many countries.
