ESG must be viewed by African firms as a tool for achieving climate-friendly corporate goals as well as a chance to invest in digital technologies, enhance energy management effectiveness, implement automation, protect water resources, and reduce waste.
This offers a significant potential for African agricultural firms to transition away from rain-fed farming and toward year-round food production. It is time for African farmers to start utilizing the vast water resources of the continent and utilizing the lightning-fast technological advancements to manage the difficulties of infrastructure shortage, market access, and weather.
Governments and corporations should use global climate financing to fund sustainable agriculture throughout the continent since it is essential for the growth of Africa’s agricultural industry.
