To maintain soil fertility, it is important to regenerate soil organic matter, balance nutrient levels, and reduce soil acidity. To prevent erosion, a broad range of sustainable land-management methods are available. Farmers\u2019 groups can choose and adapt from these technique, and try out new approaches they find useful. To use scarce water more efficiently, methods that harvest rainfall can be combined with methods of micro-irrigation.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en-GB\"><strong>Selected studies and publications on soil and water:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\"><!--\nP { margin-bottom: 0.21cm; }P.western { font-size: 12pt; }P.cjk { font-family: \"Arial\"; font-size: 12pt; }P.ctl { font-family: \"Arial\"; font-size: 12pt; }\n--><\/style>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p lang=\"de-DE\">Kotschi, J.
