In addition, the analysis demonstrates average green growth index obtained from environmental and resource productivity is −10.8%. Effect of green growth initiatives on sustainable agri-food systems transformationTo examine the effect of green growth initiatives on sustainable agri-food systems transformation, proxied by SDG2 indicators in Africa, we estimated 5 models. The results of the Prais–Winsten regression model with PCSE, the baseline model, in Table 3 show that the green growth index (growth) positively affects SDG2 regarding Zero hunger. However, the green growth initiatives and environmental and resource productivity negatively affect agriculture, fishing, and forestry value added per worker (LAVA) in low-income countries. Implementing green growth initiatives may require changes in farming and fishing practices, including the adoption of sustainable and eco-friendly approaches.
