Both faith and agriculture are central to the lives of Africans. Upwards of 70 percent of Africans are farmers, and regular religious practice is nearly universal on the continent. While a body of knowledge about links between faith and health, education, and governance is growing, there is a lack of understanding about the ways in which the beliefs, organizational structures, or practices of faith actors could bear on agriculture-related development outcomes. WFDD gathered 21 development and religious leaders in Washington, D.C. to initiate a conversation about faith contributions to agricultural development in sub-Saharan Africa. The meeting took stock of current and past faith work on agriculture and identified priorities for an investigation of faith-agriculture connections to be undertaken in 2010 by WFDD and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
