This book addresses food insecurity in Africa, highlighting its impact on welfare and economic growth. It discusses challenges like low agricultural production and land degradation. The author emphasizes the need for investments in technology and reforms to boost productivity, while noting the low adoption of existing soil fertility management technologies by smallholder farmers.

As part of its efforts to improve fertilizer use and efficiency in West Africa, and following the recent adoption of the West African fertilizer recommendation action plan (RAP) by ECOWAS, this volume focuses on IFDC's technical lead with key partner institutions and experts to build on previous and current fertilizer recommendations for various crops and countries in West Africa for wider uptake by public policy makers and fertilizer industry actors.
