Soil deserves respect, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. It is here - where farmers are racing to keep pace with the food demands of a population growing faster than any other on earth - that so much rests on soil conditions. Healthy soils are a crucial part of an African-led Green Revolution that has the potential to dramatically reduce hunger and poverty across the continent. Unhealthy soils, by contrast, could kill Africa's hopes for a prosperous, food-secure future.
