Soil Conservation and Land Rehabilitation Strategies

Course Overview

Soil is the foundation of food security, biodiversity, and ecosystem health, yet it is under increasing pressure from human activity and climate change. This Soil Conservation and Land Rehabilitation Strategies Training Course provides practical approaches for reducing soil degradation, preventing erosion, and restoring productive capacity.

Participants will explore conservation techniques, watershed management, erosion control methods, and innovative land rehabilitation strategies that combine ecological, technical, and policy perspectives. Through case studies and applied exercises, they will gain the knowledge to design and implement sustainable soil management solutions.

By the end of the course, attendees will be able to apply integrated soil and land strategies that support environmental sustainability and resilient agricultural systems.
