As the widespread pessimism about African agriculture has receded, policies for a green revolution in Africa are again called for. This study explores the presence of a national‐level green revolution in Ethiopia and finds that an Ethiopian green revolution has taken place since the mid‐1990s, mainly among staple‐growing smallholders in agroecologically favourable areas and that the state has played a central role in this transformation via public spending on agriculture. It concludes that there is scope for states in today's low‐income countries to take a leading role in the transformation of their agricultural sectors.

撒哈拉以南非洲的绿色革命？埃塞俄比亚农业部门的转型

随着对非洲农业的普遍悲观情绪消退，非洲再次呼吁进行绿色革命的政策。这项研究探索了埃塞俄比亚国家级绿色革命的存在，并发现自1990年代中期以来，埃塞俄比亚发生了绿色革命，主要发生在农业生态有利地区的主食小农户中，该州在其中发挥了核心作用。这种转变是通过农业公共支出来实现的。结论是，当今低收入国家中的国家在领导其农业部门的转型中具有领导作用的空间。
