Improving Jobs and Income in Agriculture

Creating enough productive jobs is one of today’s most urgent challenges. Agriculture is a sector which already employs millions of people and has strong potential to absorb more—but only if it can become more efficient, profitable, and market-oriented.

The Institute for Economic Development is partnering with researchers and experts to leverage evidence to create better jobs in
farming and agribusiness. These efforts align with AgriConnect, a World Bank Group initiative to transform smallholder farming, create jobs, and strengthen global food security.
