Agricultural Scientists in Africa

Unlike generic directories, these entries are curated for relevance to food security, crop science, and sustainable farming in African contexts. Selection emphasizes role relevance, recent activity, and alignment with the specified research or implementation areas rather than simple name aggregation.

This list is most useful for NGOs, research institutions, funders, and agritech founders seeking experts in food security or sustainable farming across Africa. It helps targeted outreach to collaborators, hires, or advisors with domain-specific expertise.

Key filters include geographic focus (Africa), topical expertise (food security, crop science, sustainable farming), professional role (researchers, lead agronomists), and verifiable activity such as publications, projects, or program leadership. Profiles are reviewed for recency and practical relevance to on-the-ground or policy-facing work.

The list includes scientists with pan-African experience as well as country- or region-specific specialists, and it notes their primary markets or ecosystems (e.g., smallholder systems, commercial crops, or climate-resilient agriculture). Geographic scope and market focus are captured in each profile to support targeted engagement.
