In central and eastern Europe, soil conservation activities are implemented with the support of initiatives focusing mainly on combating soil erosion, land fertility management and water conservation.

Regarding soil and water conservation, improved irrigation techniques, introduction of water use policies and monitoring of competing uses and demands for water, soil and water conservation techniques, and flood controls were seen as important.

Most of the adaptation options identified for agriculture relate to crop management, land management, and soil and water conservation.

The Soil Conservation Service (redesignated the Natural Resources Conservation Service or NRCS in October 1994) adopted digital orthophotography as the common framework for collecting and managing natural resource geospatial databases.

In Africa, the ongoing initiatives for rehabilitating degraded land are focused on reforestation, soil conservation and integrated management of water resources.

Their activities are mainly concerned with the recovery of degraded land, the rehabilitation of the natural environment, and water and soil conservation.

Activities cover such areas as information, awareness creation, reforestation, water and soil conservation, regeneration of rangelands, ecotourism and the promotion of renewable energies.

Soil restoration and conservation has been included in most of the countries' pilot planting and reforestation projects undertaken jointly with the international organizations.

Providing economic incentives to farmers and industries, for example in the form of low interest credit, tax relief and subsidies, could encourage investments in water conservation, low cost waste water treatment, soil conservation and other land management practices.

According to the reports, soil conservation continues to be given high priority by the organizations in their efforts to preserve the environment, alongside sand dune fixation strategies.

FAO has also supported the regional thematic programme networks (TPNs) in remote sensing and monitoring of desertification, soil conservation and fodder crops, and has participated in the TerrAfrica programme.

The team included specialists from USGS, the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, National Biological Survey, Soil Conservation Service, Army Corps of Engineers, EPA, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

In Asia, cooperation under TPN 2 on agroforestry and soil conservation in arid, semi arid and dry sub humid areas continued through a workshop that was organized in January 2005 in India.

In order to remedy the situation, countries are starting up activities in the areas of market gardening, agroforestry, soil conservation, the establishment of cereal banks and the promotion of non traditional agriculture.

Efforts in Asian countries have concentrated on creating a favourable institutional and political environment, and adopting global, integrated approaches to the management of forestry resources that take account of soil conservation concerns.

Then, if we added maps like the geology, the bedrock geology, and the surface geology, what the glaciers leave, if we make the soil map, with the 17 soil classes, that are defined by the National Conservation Service, if we make a digital elevation model of the topography that tells us how high the hills were, then we can calculate the slopes.

No water, rocky soil.

It scratches on the soil.

The soil is extremely good.

The soil here is fertile.

This is very good soil.

Inter alia, these projects cover (i) assessment of the condition of the rangelands based on satellite data (ii) identification of the physical and socioeconomic factors involved in the process of land degradation (iii) devising of rangeland management scenarios and (iv) development of soil conservation techniques.

It's been estimated that a single ton of soil fertile soil contains approximately four million species of bacteria, all unknown.

This is how soil is created.

So, it stays under the soil.

Ways of controlling, preventing soil erosion.

We've talked about the soil erosion.
