Food production in Africa is difficult due to poor soil fertility and limited farmer access to inorganic fertilizer. This issue is exacerbated by climate change. A potential solution is to improve sorghum farming because sorghum is tolerant of both drought and water logging. Agronomist Tonitto and Ricker-Gilbert reviewed sorghum management scenarios. They found inorganic fertilizer amendment increased yield by 47-98 %, while organic nutrient amendment increased yield by 43-87 %. Therefore, facilitating access to fertilizers and diversified rotations should increase grain yield in Africa, a recommendation in line with current Integrated Soil Fertility Management (ISFM) techniques promoted by the Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA) .
