AfricaFertilizer.org website seeks to facilitate exchange of information about Soil Fertility, Fertilizers and good agricultural practices in Africa. Its goal is to become the standard reference site on matters of African agriculture for evey player in the field.
Food insecurity is a major problem in Africa owing to many reasons, including decline in soil fertility and rapid increase in population. To cope with the problem, Africa needs a Green Revolution that will push up agricultural productivity. The Abuja declaration of June 2006 advocated increased use of both organic and inorganic fertilizers to initiate the revolution.
African farmers, who are mostly poor, do not have adequate access to fertilizers. The Abuja declaration went on to advocate improving African farmers’ access to fertilizers. Farmers also need to be educated on proper fertilizer use and better agricultural practices.
AfricaFertilizer.org is a forum to disseminate and exchange information on different aspects of fertilizer, soil fertility and other agricultural issues in Africa.
