Soil conservation.

In central and eastern Europe, soil conservation activities are implemented with the support of initiatives focusing mainly on combating soil erosion, land fertility management and water conservation.

Regarding soil and water conservation, improved irrigation techniques, introduction of water use policies and monitoring of competing uses and demands for water, soil and water conservation techniques, and flood controls were seen as important.

Most of the adaptation options identified for agriculture relate to crop management, land management, and soil and water conservation.

In Africa, the ongoing initiatives for rehabilitating degraded land are focused on reforestation, soil conservation and integrated management of water resources.

Their activities are mainly concerned with the recovery of degraded land, the rehabilitation of the natural environment, and water and soil conservation.

Activities cover such areas as information, awareness creation, reforestation, water and soil conservation, regeneration of rangelands, ecotourism and the promotion of renewable energies.

Soil restoration and conservation has been included in most of the countries' pilot planting and reforestation projects undertaken jointly with the international organizations.

Providing economic incentives to farmers and industries, for example in the form of low interest credit, tax relief and subsidies, could encourage investments in water conservation, low cost waste water treatment, soil conservation and other land management practices.

According to the reports, soil conservation continues to be given high priority by the organizations in their efforts to preserve the environment, alongside sand dune fixation strategies.

FAO has also supported the regional thematic programme networks (TPNs) in remote sensing and monitoring of desertification, soil conservation and fodder crops, and has participated in the TerrAfrica programme.

In Asia, cooperation under TPN 2 on agroforestry and soil conservation in arid, semi arid and dry sub humid areas continued through a workshop that was organized in January 2005 in India.

In order to remedy the situation, countries are starting up activities in the areas of market gardening, agroforestry, soil conservation, the establishment of cereal banks and the promotion of non traditional agriculture.

Efforts in Asian countries have concentrated on creating a favourable institutional and political environment, and adopting global, integrated approaches to the management of forestry resources that take account of soil conservation concerns.

Soil

Soil Soil erosion is fast becoming one of the worlds greatest problems.

While technical progress is reported in such areas as improving farm productivity, irrigation, soil conservation and drought resistant species, more systematic relationships with centres of excellence in the North should strengthen capacities in affected African country Parties.

Many concepts essential to understanding soil come from individuals not identifiable strictly as soil scientists.

Inter alia, these projects cover (i) assessment of the condition of the rangelands based on satellite data (ii) identification of the physical and socioeconomic factors involved in the process of land degradation (iii) devising of rangeland management scenarios and (iv) development of soil conservation techniques.

Low concentration of P in soils reduces plant growth, and slows soil microbial growth as shown in studies of soil microbial biomass.
