 Soil security

FAO/Seyllou Diallo

The International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas

It also prevents desertification and sand storms and reduces GHG emissions as well as biodiversity loss. Improving soil security helps farmers to optimize resource use and mitigate impacts of climate change.
