Training on Agricultural Policy Framework for Development

Policies play a crucial role in shaping the direction of agriculture. They outline the goals and actions that governments, parties, businesses, and individuals aim to achieve for the benefit of society. In the context of agriculture, policies serve as a framework for action. They guide the entire system by addressing financing, production, marketing, and extension services.

Agricultural policies are largely on financing, production, marketing, and provision of extension services all aimed at enhancing the development and sustainability of the agricultural sector. Developing an agricultural policy framework for development involves creating a comprehensive strategy to promote sustainable agricultural practices, increase productivity, ensure food security, and support rural development.
