Agricultural research is where open access matters most and reaches least. The findings that decide whether a smallholder in Kaduna plants drought-tolerant maize are often locked behind paywalls that no extension officer will ever pay. Meanwhile African agronomy journals publish some of the most locally relevant work in the field, and much of it is already free to read.
This hub gathers open-access research across crop and animal science, food systems, soil health, and agricultural economics — with an emphasis on work produced in and for African farming systems.
