Ghana Farm

Caption

A farm in Ghana, where corn yields sit at about a quarter of what could be grown with optimal plant and soil management. New research from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and its collaborators has found that sub-Saharan Africa will struggle to meet its 2050 grain demands even if it maximizes the yields of corn and four other cereal crops.
