To sufficiently feed the world by 2050, 60 percent more food will need to be grown annually. The major burden of this task is placed on the shoulders of smallholder farmers, particularly in Sub-Sahara... n Africa. IFDC’s expertise in technologies designed to increase smallholder farmer yields is contributing to this need. Widespread adoption of the Competitive Agricultural Systems and Enterprises (CASE) solution, integrated soil fertility management (ISFM) and fertilizer deep placement (FDP) will ease the burden on farmers, helping them to produce and sell more food.
