About two hundred and twenty three million people are undernourished in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) with 11 million people being food insecure in the Sahel region of West Africa (WA). A growing global population and climate change are expected to exacerbate this situation and present new challenges on global food production. Phosphate rock, a non-renewable resource is expected to be depleted in about 40-400 years depending on the source of information but a phosphorus (P) peak (where P demand exceeds P supply) is likely to occur before 2040. The effects of limited global P supply are expected to be felt more by resource poor smallholder farmers in SSA. This is also the region already with the lowest inorganic fertilizer use and highly weathere...
