GISEPIC AFRICA: A modeling tool for assessing impacts of nutrient and water use in African agriculture

admin 21 May 2014

Nearly all of the population growth is expected to occur in the developing countries and all the projections suggest that market demand for food will continue to grow (population growth, higher standard of living, biofuels, etc.), requiring a general increase of food production by 70 % between 2005 and 2050.
