Providing food and water security for a population expected to exceed 9 billion by 2050 while conserving natural resources requires achieving high yields on every hectare of currently used arable land suitable for intensification. This is especially relevant for sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), where, u...

Soil data for yield gap assessment and soil suitability index for sustainable intensification
Providing food and water security for a population expected to exceed 9 billion by 2050 while conserving natural resources requires achieving high(er) and stable yields on every hectare of currently used arable land suitable for intensification.

Soil suitability for sustainable intensification in smallholder systems in Sub-Saharan Africa
In rainfed crop production, root zone plant-available water holding capacity (RZ-PAWHC) of the soil has a large influence on crop growth and the yield response to management inputs such as improved seeds and fertilisers. However, data are lacking for this parameter in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Th...
