| Description |
As the desert encroaches, population numbers rise and yields fall, appropriate use of the remaining agricultural land in sub-Saharan Africa should be prioritised by policy makers. That is the key message of the author as he builds upon a technical study of factors entwined with soil productivity. Integrated fertiliser management including a keen use of organic and mineral fertiliser , an appropriate soil management strategy and effective water management are key elements when dealing with harsh and erratic climatic conditions. Finally, he calls for a range of institutional measures: active environmental pressure groups in every country to monitor activities related to environment, and effective international linkages among research institutions.
