Ethiopia Advances Sustainable Development through Agricultural and Environmental Reforms
October 11, 2018
Ethiopia is making remarkable progress in transforming its agricultural sector in alignment with the African Union’s Agenda 2063. Through focused efforts, the nation has increased crop yields and expanded its agricultural exports, especially in wheat production.
The “Bounty of the Basket” program has also significantly boosted milk and poultry production, strengthening food security and contributing to economic growth.
These accomplishments have garnered recognition from both regional and global organizations, positioning Ethiopia as a leading example of sustainable development in Africa.
In environmental initiatives, Ethiopia is gaining notable traction. Over the past six years, more than 40 billion seedlings have been planted under the Green Legacy initiative, which aims to combat climate change and rehabilitate degraded ecosystems.
This initiative has extended beyond Ethiopia’s borders, with seedlings being exported to neighboring countries.
Ethiopia’s dual emphasis on agricultural innovation and environmental restoration reflects its dedication to inclusive prosperity and sustainable progress.
