Soil & Water
Soil is an important water reservoir, and cultivation and soil management influence not only soil structure, water infiltration and plant growth but also nutrient leaching and erosion. The challenge for farmers: how to prepare soils best for climate events.
Measures
- Provide soil cover
- Stabilise soil structures
- Increase retention capacities
- Feed the soil's nutrition structure
