Abstract
This paper outlines the development of a new methodology to modify and improve the indigenous practices of soil fertility management in Eastern and Southern Africa and suggests requirements for involvement by collaborating institutions. It provides a brief history of the Tropical Soil Biology and Fertility (TBSF) Programme in Africa, ongoing resource integration work in Zimbabwe, proposed work in Kenya and team development in Zimbabwe.
