The African Plant Nutrition Institute (APNI) is a not-for-profit research and development organization founded in 2019 and based in Benguerir, Morocco. APNI staff are also centered in Settat (Morocco), Yamoussoukro (Côte d’Ivoire), and Nairobi (Kenya).
The Institute partners with governments, NGOs, agribusiness, scientists, farmers, and other stakeholders who share its vision of enhanced plant nutrition for a resilient and food-secure Africa.
APNI aims to use its expertise in plant nutrition to improve crop performance through better management of plant nutrients and enhanced soil health. Implementing better plant nutrient management practices will lead to productive and sustainable landscapes and prosperous livelihoods in Africa.
You can join their challenge to shine a light on plant nutrition research and development across Africa through photography. Your contributions will help build a valuable forum and educational resource, and you could win a cash prize! This year their contest is built around two categories:
Category 1: Nutrient Deficiency Symptoms in Crops
Have you spotted a nutrient deficiency symptom in a crop? It is a perfect opportunity to take a moment to capture it for their contest. They are looking for well-framed examples that they can publish with full credit to the photographer. Do you need help distinguishing the symptoms? You may consult their general reference diagram.
Category 2: Plant Nutrition Research in Action
As a practitioner of the agricultural sciences, you often have the opportunity to be involved in or even observe the implementation and development of improved plant nutrition practices. They are looking forward to receiving your vivid images of African research in action as well as the results of impactful research on crop productivity, environmental protection, and the local community. They have chosen three themes to tag submissions under this category: 1) Climate & Weather Smart Plant Nutrition, 2) Soil Health & Improved Livelihoods, or 3) Precision Nutrient Management.
