Description	Key messages The cereal-root crop mixed farming system is a potential food basket of west and central Africa, with an area of more than 200 million ha, good rainfall and an agricultural population of only 43 million. This crop-livestock system features a variety of cereals, legumes, cattle and small ruminants and has similarities to the maize mixed farming system in east and southern Africa. The main drivers of change are population increases and, recently, improving market access for grain and livestock. The long-term prospects for agricultural growth and sustainable intensification are excellent. There are great potential knowledge-intensive innovations such as mechanized conservation agriculture. Key enabling factors are transport infrastructure, enabling policies and farmer organizations to underpin market access and farmer-to-farmer learning and innovation. Book Name: Farming Systems and Food Security in Africa
