Thank goodness for increased carbon dioxide, i.e. plant food.

> The first thing to note is how low sorghum and millet yields are compared to corn and rice. These are key crops across Sub-Saharan Africa, but unfortunately, haven’t had the same development and investment as other cereal crops.

Are these crops just bad or is that Africans aren't good at agriculture? If it's the former why haven't transferred to other cereal crops like rice and wheat?

Recently Zimbabwe and Ethiopia have dramatically increased crop yields. Can you do a piece on what they did right and their neighbours can learn?
