Sustainable agricultural mechanization for food self-sufficiency in Africa, this is the new joint plan set up by the African Union and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. Doubling agricultural production on the African continent is the joint objective of the African Union and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). The SAMA programme, which is based on ten points, aims mainly at eliminating hunger and malnutrition in Africa through new mechanisation techniques.
