Biosolutions such as those used for soil fertility, pest
management and livestock disease management, offer
a viable transition option for sustainable agri-food
systems in Africa. The opportunities that biosolutions
present, however, must be coupled with understanding
the innovation gaps that stand in the way of large-
scale adoption. This knowledge brief discusses specific
biosolutions and the opportunities and challenges they
face in sub-Saharan Africa. With the right investments
and policies, biosolutions can become an invaluable
tool in the effort to future-proof productive, socially
inclusive and greener agri-food systems.
