Integrated soil fertility management for soil fertility restoration in sub-Saharan Africa -- Chapter 3. Integrated Soil Fertility Management: A Basis for Sustainable Intensification of Maize-Based Cropping Systems of Southern Africa -- Chapter 4. Insights of microbial inoculants in complementing organic soil fertility management in African smallholder farming systems -- Chapter 5. Potential of Agroforestry Technologies and Mineral Fertilisers in Improving Soil Fertility and Crop Production in Semi-arid Areas of Africa -- Chapter 6. Integrated Soil Acidity Management for Sustainable Crop Production in South African Smallholder Farming Systems -- PART 2: WATER MANAGEMENT IN SMALLHOLDER FARMING SYSTEMS -- Chapter 7. Improving productivity of smallholder irrigation in Africa through adoption of best management practices and technologies -- Chapter 8. Being small does not make it easy: the management conundrum on smallholder canal schemes -- Chapter 9. Sustainable winery wastewater management for improving soil quality, environmental health and crop yields -- Chapter 10. Water harvesting technologies for sustainable crop production in African smallholder farming systems._ PART 3: CROP PRODUCTION TECHNOLOGIES AND PRACTICES -- Chapter 11. Advances in Sorghum Production in Smallholder Farming Systems of Africa -- Chapter 12. Knowledge and Innovation Approaches to Out-Scale Sorghum Adoption in Africa -- Chapter 13. Integration of cover crops into maize-based smallholder farmer systems of Southern Africa -- Part 4: CLIMATE SMART LIVESTOCK PRODUCTION SYSTEMS -- Chapter 14. Utilising Encroacher Bush in Animal Feeding -- Chapter 15. Opportunities for delivering sectoral climate-smart livestock interventions in southern Africa -- Chapter 16. The Benefits of Winter Cover Crops in Mixed Crop-Livestock Conservation Agriculture Systems of the Swartland Region, South Africa._ PART 5: URBAN AGRICULTURE AND FOOD SECURITY IN AFRICA -- Chapter 17. Urban Food Production Technologies, Innovations and Management Practices in Africa -- Chapter 18. Hydroponics in urban agriculture.

This edited book is focused on Sustainable Development Goal 2. It offers a comprehensive and topical collection of practices, technologies and innovations in the field of sustainable food production and security under a changing climate. It is a one-stop handbook for farmers, researchers, extensionists, policy makers and other stakeholders seeking to identify and disseminate best fit technologies for local and regional landscapes. It offers an understanding of the challenges, risks and uncertainties as well as opportunities to foster productive and sustainable food production. Smallholder farming and agriculture in general is facing a serious threat from climate change that has resulted in erratic and unpredictable rainfall and increased temperatures, among other abiotic stresses. These climate change induced pressures have reduced productivity mainly among the smallholder farmers, who are critical in driving the attainment of sustainable development goals like SDG 2, 12 and 13. The objective of the book is to document effective and practicable practices and technologies that can be adopted by smallholder African farmers as mitigation measures against the effects of climate change. This book is of interest to researchers, agricultural scientists, climate change scientists, capacity builders and policymakers.
