    Feed the Future; Space to Place
    (2024)
    The Space to Place project, an initiative by Feed the Future and USAID, aims to transform agriculture in Sub-Saharan Africa by optimizing fertilizer use to help farmers increase crop yields and profitability sustainably. The region faces significant challenges with imprecise fertilizer recommendations, leading to low productivity, inefficient land use, and poor returns on investment. The project's solution involves equipping farmers with essential tools and information to use the right kind, place, time, and amount of fertilizer. Utilizing digital soil maps, the approach provides precise data on soil conditions and nutrient needs. Early results from Ethiopia indicate a substantial impact, including increased crop yields, reduced fertilizer wastage, and broader benefits such as improved soil health practices, higher farmer incomes, and enhanced food security. By targeting these interventions, the project also empowers female farmers with critical agricultural knowledge, promoting gender equity in farming communities.
