Getting African agricultural moving is the most complex and demanding task facing policymakers, agricultural scientists, and donors over the coming 25years. This publication, based on the text of a presentation given at the CIMMYT Economics Program's third Distinguished Economist lecture, examines Africa's empty harvest in historical perspective and analyzes the failure of agricultural institutions imported form other continents(e.g.. T&V extension and the land grant university model). The author argues that there is an urgent need for African agricultualists to experiment with different agricultral institutions and to craft national "agricultural knowledge triangles"hat include research, extension, and agricultural higher edecation. Africa's universitues are the weak link in the agricultural knowledge triangle. The lecture then analyzes the reasons underlying the erosion in the capacity of Africa's faculties of agriculture to offer high quality graduate training in agriculture. Taking the long view puzzles hat require debate and further study:creating a good institutional environment; crafting agricultural knowlege triangles ; the case for long-term scientific assistance; the expanded aid agenda; changing roles of public adn private institutions and NGOs ; institution building versus marginalist approaches ; strategic issues in improving the quality of graduate education; and 'whither the CGIAR'
