Abstract

This synthesis focuses on three fertilizer issues: (1) the capacity of fertilizer, used with complementary organic inputs, to recapitalize SSA soils and improve productivity, (2) the economic obstacles and incentives to recapitalization, and (3) the need to guard against negative environmental impacts from fertilizer-led soil recapitalization.
