Achieving Africa's agricultural revolution will require the blending of old and new approaches that include technology being added to all things agriculture and extensively coordinated amongst all stakeholders in the agricultural system. While not the only answer, market-based approaches will also be an important tool in the “toolbox” to drive change – providing the efficiency, scalability, and market-based incentives to power a large-scale effort, in doing its work FPI-I has become a frontline solution supporting Agrifood production through investments across Africa.

Becoming a front-line solution for food production has made FPI advance the use of innovations in farming practices, bringing modern agriculture to life, aiding the increase of agricultural efficiency, and reducing the loss of natural resources.
