Summary: A major report on agriculture says 'Africa is no longer in the dark' The Alliance for a Green Revolution - AGRA - says agricultural productivity in the past 10 years has improved lives in Ghana, Rwanda, Ethiopia and Burkina Faso. AGRA says agriculture is more effective at cutting poverty than other sectors. The alliance of agriculture experts say countries which acted early to invest in farming are seeing significant growth. Malnutrition and poverty levels are falling in some of the highest risk countries where people don't have enough to eat. Farming is a main source of income for more than 60 percent of the work force in Africa. GDP has grown in countries that have been investing. But is the success sustainable?
