ProjectPromoting Sustainable Soil Management in the Framework of the Global Soil Partnership: Phase II - GCP/GLO/853/RUS 2021
Also available in:
No results found.Healthy soils are key to food production, rural development and ecological sustainability. Increasing global demand for food, feed, fuel and fibre all of which come from soil puts significant pressure on soils, many of which are already degraded and depleted. In order to restore soils and keep them healthy and productive, sustainable soil management (SSM) practices must be implemented worldwide. This project built on the results of a previous project that supported SSM within the framework of the Global Soil Partnership (GSP). In this Phase II project, activities were implemented in the 13 countries of the Eurasian Soil Partnership: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Republic of Moldova, Russian Federation, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Turkey, Ukraine, and Uzbekistan as well as at the global level.
