Integrated soil fertility video

The African Soil Health Consortium shows that using mineral fertilizer alone is not enough through this video. It urges policymakers to widen their investments in soil fertility to promote Integrated Soil Fertility Management (ISFM) where mineral fertilizer is combined with organic inputs (such as manure, or legume crops) and improved seed varieties in ways that are locally adapted to take account of the soil and socio-economic conditions of farms and farmers. This project is funded by the Gates Foundation
