No results found.The project’s objective was to promote the restoration of degraded landscapes in the forest-steppe and steppe zones of Ukraine by scaling up integrated natural resources management practices. The project was particularly relevant in terms of environmental degradation and climate change, as it took important first steps towards a land degradation neutrality monitoring system and integrated land use management plans in Ukraine, thus contributing to the enhanced integration of environmental policy into governance systems.Despite challenges caused by the ongoing war, the project’s activities and incentives stand out as good practices to replicate. The project significantly implemented successful capacity building, which led to increased information sharing and the development of draft laws on environmental protection. Numerous demonstration and capacity building activities on good conservation agricultural practices and enhanced technologies like no till drill, subsurface drip irrigation, crop rotation and sustainable shelterbelt management generated greater awareness. In addition, promising income generation activities for women were implemented successfully. -
Policy briefPolicy guidance note: Sustainable soil management
Opportunities and recommendations for decision makers
2024Also available in:
Soils are a vital resource for agriculture and life on the planet. They are home to the diversity that gives rise to the heterogeneous productive landscapes that make Latin America and the Caribbean a strategic ally in global food production. They are also a productive resource that provides multiple functions, goods and services. Therefore, their sustainable management is a valuable tool to address global challenges such as population growth, degradation of productive resources and climate change. This policy brief, aimed at policymakers, presents a set of lines of action that can serve as a reference guide to contribute to the transition to sustainable soil management at different scales, from local to regional.
