Hunger in Africa Combated with Age-Old Farming Practice

Unlike conventional agriculture, conservation agriculture rarely tills the soil, and it rotates crops, usually between grains and legumes like peanuts and beans. It also uses natural fertilizers, such as animal manure, leaves, and crop residues. Together, these practices slowly build the soil's ability to retain nutrients and moisture, making land more productive, efficient and resilient to climate irregularities such as droughts and heavy downpours.
