How can the hidden costs and benefits of agrifood systems be effectively incorporated into decision-making for transformation?
Developing countries are hardly affected by overpopulation, climate change, disease burden and conflict. They almost dependent on agrofood which still under production efficiency hampered by aforementioned challenges. Wider range of agriculture inputs are also imported and used without cost benefit analysis, health risk assessment and risk of resistance.
Thus, need to assess and provide these hidden costs and benefits of agrifood systems to be effectively incorporated into decision-making for sector and community transformation in Africa, particularly in over growing populated Ethiopia.
