Developing+strategies+to+encourage+sustainable+agriculture+and+reduce+the+dependence+of+sub-Saharan+countries+on+food+imports

The Republic of The Sudan believes firmly in the value of sustainable agriculture and the need to reduce Sub-Saharan Africa's dependency on food imports. Sudan believes Africa's potential for agricultural growth and sustainability far outweighs its current dependence on food imports. Thus, Sudan believes a transition period to a more agricultural-reliable Sub-Saharan Africa will prove very fruitful and effective for both African economies and the African people who suffer many plights such as droughts, famines, and diseases. Measures and strategies to encourage the notion of sustainable agriculture in Africa could resort to focused efforts on a single sub-region or country in Sub-Saharan Africa to develop its own fruitful sustainable agriculture program. The fruitfulness of the program will work to improve that sub-region's or country's dependence on food imports and eventually improve the economy. Those efforts and their effects, if entirely positive, will work to inspire other Sub-Saharan countries by setting an example of the effectiveness of sustainable agriculture. Further development in the region will inspire more countries to begin their own program and take up interest on sustainable agriculture, which will strengthen and stabilize economies along with reduce the dependency on food imports.

1. __Recommends__ nations, as measure of sustainable agriculture, to initiate a research and development sector that deals with the new means of agriculture that are sustainable and eco-friendly but also generate the maximum profit in order to help sustainable development and stabilize their economies 2. __Encourages__ nations in which foreign investment is controlling of their agricultural sectors and/or are very reliant on food imports to plan for a swift and practical transitional period towards self-dependence on agriculture products and self-subsistence throughout the nation in order to decrease reliance on food imports. 3. __Further Encourages__ relatively more self-relient countries of Northern Africa such as Egypt, Libya, Algeria, and Morroco to send envoys with cooperation of sub-saharan governments to sub-saharan regions in order to share knowledge and research of agriculture development and measures of implementing sustainable agricutlure.
