Low soil fertility is the main reason why West African farmers deplete their soils. Integrated Soil Fertility Management (ISFM) provides a way to reverse this. ISFM aims at progressive improvement of soil quality and nutrient, water and labour efficiency through the combined use of soil amendments and inorganic fertilizers.
