Agricultural Production and Land Management in Africa  Challenges:  rapidly growing population; land degradation;  soil erosion; declining soil fertility and  climate change  Available Land must  Produce more food and pasture  Maintain environmental quality and  Maintain the natural resources base Rethink current land use mechanisms  Increase agricultural growth due to land expansion rather than increase productivity

A suite of integrated mobile apps connected to cloud-based analytics and user-accessible cloud storage that allows users to: access, share and interpret global knowledge and information relevant to the unique potential of a piece of land. 5

 The LandInfo App allows users to capture point-specific data about soil characteristics such as: ◦ Soil water, ◦ Soil texture ◦ Climate factors such temperature, rainfall, ◦ and growing season length 6
