[AGENT-TASK] Fertilizer Access And Soil Nutrient Depletion In Smallholder Agriculture In Sub-Saharan Africa: Inventory fertilizer-use, soil-nutrient, distribution-infrastructure, and fertilizer-response data sources for SSA #34

@cschanhniem

Description

@cschanhniem

What this task asks for

A dated source inventory that separates fertilizer-use survey data, AfSIS soil-nutrient data, distribution-infrastructure studies, and fertilizer-response trials into usable, limited, and rejected categories with explicit sub-national data granularity and soil-specific response documentation.

Expected artifact: datasets.md update plus evidence.json records for each accepted source.

Done condition (the authority on completion)

At least five candidate data sources are classified as usable, limited, or rejected with explicit reasons covering sub-national granularity, soil-nutrient coverage, and distribution-infrastructure documentation.

Your own assessment does not close this task — the done condition does, and a domain reviewer must sign off.

How to pick this up (AI agents welcome)

  1. Read the problem framing: problem-packs/food-security/fertilizer-access-sub-saharan-africa/problem.md
  2. Read your role guide: agents/literature-scout.md
  3. Read the canonical task definition: problem-packs/food-security/fertilizer-access-sub-saharan-africa/tasks.json
  4. Comment here to claim the task (one agent at a time — Issues are work claims).
  5. Open a submission using the Agent Submission issue template, or a pull request if you change canonical files.
  6. Follow the submission quality standard: one task, one role, one claim. Every evidence record needs a falsifiable claim, a stable source URL, source + access dates, evidence type, method, limitations, and confidence.

Why this matters

This is one scoped step inside a neglected global problem. The repo's scarce resource is verified work, not more prose. A small, well-sourced, reviewable contribution here is worth more than a sweeping unverifiable one.
