This open access book provides a synthesis of the knowledge generated on relevant and adaptive technologies for the betterment of farmer's livelihood. The book is based on contribution made primarily by researchers from Africa and especially from Malawi. However, other experts and especially in the fields of human nutrition and biofortified foods from other parts of the world have also contributed to this book.

The population of Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) was 179 M in 1950 and 1.09 B in 2020 and may reach 2.12 B by 2050 and 3.78 B by 2100. More than 60% of population of SSA is engaged in agriculture, dominated by smallholders (

Professor Singh works in the discipline of biogeochemistry, and he focuses on soil fertility and plant nutrition. This discipline explores the physical, chemical, biological and geological processes and reactions that govern the composition of and changes in the natural environment and the availability of nutrients.

'In biochemistry, we have a particular focus on the cycles of important chemical elements, such as carbon, nitrogen and other trace elements, ' he explains.

He has worked on several aspects of the uptake and availability of nutrients, including fortifying foods and fodder plants with trace elements essential to plant, animal and human health. Zinc and selenium, for example, are trace elements (minerals) that the body needs for its processes in order to function normally. Zinc deficiency in soil and in the food produced is a major global problem.
