Soil erosion is a big problem in Africa, making soil less productive. People in Ezha District, Ethiopia, are clearing land for farming, which leads to soil fertility loss and lower crop yields. A study looked at how soil and water conservation methods affect soil quality. They found that conserved land had better soil properties like pH, organic matter, and available nutrients compared to unconserved land. This shows that using soil and water conservation practices can improve soil quality and help farmers grow more food.
