“Integrated soil fertility management seeks to improve crop yields, while preserving sustainable, long-term soil fertility through the judicious use of fertilisers, recycled organic resources, responsive crop varieties, and improved agronomic practices. Together, these measures minimise nutrient losses and improve the nutrient-use efficiency of crops.
Integrated soil fertility management includes knowing how to adapt these practices to local conditions to maximise efficiency of the applied nutrients and improve crop productivity.
NATURE-BASED SOLUTIONS
All inputs need to be managed following sound agronomic principles. Nature-based solutions are defined as actions to protect, sustainably manage and restore natural or modified ecosystems, and address societal challenges, simultaneously providing benefits for human well-being and biodiversity.
Nature-based solutions mimic natural processes that rely on
