This approach (eliminating fossil fuels from the nitrogen fertilizer pipeline) will inevitably become the global norm. For Africa in particular, it's the only plausible route to long-term food stability as there simply isn't enough fossil fuel available to allow Africa to industrialize (and if there was, we'd be doubling the rate of CO2 increase in the atmosphere). Africa has the opportunity to go directly from pre-industrial agrarian economy to a renewable energy-powered industrial economy.
