Climate-smart agriculture in sub-Saharan Africa: optimizing nitrogen fertilization with data science
Food insecurity in sub-Saharan Africa is widespread, with crop yields much lower than in many developed regions. The project aims to use laser spectroscopy to measure fluxes and isotopic composition of N2O from maize and potato crops subjected to a range of fertilization levels.
