Abstract
Given Africa's productive potential, addressing constraints to agricultural productivity in Africa will need inventive techniques will need inventive techniques. Having in mind the aforementioned, the study explores the impact of developing concerns in African agriculture, such as maize fall armyworm, cereal aflatoxins, African swine fewer in pigs, and climate change-related issues in agriculture and proposes remedies. This was performed by a scoping review using bibliometrics (Web of Science, CiteULike, and Science Direct) as well as a systematic review covering the years 2008–2021. The findings have revealed that developing concerns have a severe influence on agricultural and food security in Africa, particularly among the poor. Furthermore, the findings have demonstrated that sustainable technologies can address rising difficulties in African agriculture. However, various programs that promote the progress of creative and advanced technology might be implemented to develop frameworks for managing developing difficulties in African agriculture. Production in African agriculture must be boosted by the implementation of innovative and modern technology.
