Soil conservation

This category of measures has the primary objective to ameliorate and maintain soil quality. In the context of a changing climate, this improved soil quality entails better water retention and discharge in longer periods of drought and times of extreme rainfall. Besides, the higher yield that restored soils could bring, might be an extra driver for the smallholder farmer to adopt these techniques.
