Recent research reveals agricultural challenges and opportunities in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), highlighting the potential for improved crop production. Studies like Ittersum et al.’s (2016) question if SSA can self-sustain its food supply, emphasizing the need for effective resource management and technology adoption. High-input agriculture, as explored by Oyinbo et al. (2019), offers increased yields but demands robust extension services. Furthermore, climate change’s impact on crops like maize necessitates adaptive strategies (Fakorede & Akinyemiyu, 2003). Strategic fertilizer use, integrated soil management, and farmer education remain crucial for sustainable growth.
