Description The sustainability of agricultural production systems
is the plausible outcome of carefully managed
natural resources to produce more per-unit input,
which will also help to achieve the goals of ‘no poverty’ and
‘zero hunger’. Soils from croplands and uncultivated wastelands
are degraded due to erosion and nutrient depletion,
requiring urgent attention to maintain the sustainability of
the production system. By adopting a holistic, integrated
watershed management approach, soil security measures
backed by scientific knowledge have demonstrated a positive
impact on agricultural productivity and profitability,
with reduced soil loss and increased water availability.
