Scaling modern agri-food systems drives investment in rural areas, creates new. jobs and develops new skills across multiple industries and sectors, increasing incomes and strengthening rural communities.

Modern agricultural methodologies and techniques can reduce poor farming practices while improving soil health, reducing greenhouse gas emmissions and using water more efficiently.

Domestic populations gain access to higher-quality, safer food. Lower production costs generated through economies of scale can also support more affordable food for consumers.

A modern agricultural sector requires a higher-skilled workforce and the adoption of new technologies. Training, education and extension services form an integral part of the integrated process.

Scaled production creates opportunities for high-quality exports alongside domestic supply, supporting import substitution, reducing reliance on imports and helping to strengthen the trade balance.
