Dramatic changes in soil management concepts are needed to counter the threat. This manual proposes options for such changes, addressing a very broad variety of topics related to agricultural land management ranging from chemical and physical attributes of soils, soil management concepts, mechanization and tillage, mulching and green manure, erosion control and water resources management, to concepts of participative transfer of technologies.application/pdfen-USIn CopyrightParticipatory processesSoil degradationSoil erosionSoil conservationSoil managementGreen manure cropsAgricultureSoilConservation tillageFertilizationConservation agriculturesoil managementmechanization and tillagemulching and green manureerosion control and water resourcesparticipative transfer of technologiesField ScaleTechnical reportFAO 2000
