The Future of Growth | Jennifer Baarn | TEDxRotterdam

Jennifer Baarn considers Africa to be the growth continent of the 21st century and is passionate about innovative approaches to development. Moving from 355 million to 1 billion middle income consumers in the next 30 years, why aren’t we in Africa? Jennifer Baarn believes Africa is on the brink of a new era. She sees her new hometown of Dar es Salaam as the new frontier of innovative and inclusive business models. And we in the West, what role do we want to play? Are we co-creators or are we obstructing? That’s the question we must ask ourselves if we want to get involved. Jennifer Baarn is the Deputy CEO of the Southern Agriculture Growth Corridor (SAGCOT) Centre Ltd in Tanzania, a public private partnership, with close to 100 partners. SAGCOT partners pledged over USD 1 billion to build inclusive and sustainable agriculture value chains and align this with infrastructure investments, with the aim of bringing 350,000 Ha into profitable production and create wealth for 2 million small farmers. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
