THE FUSE

Maintaining soil fertility in drought-prone regions is critical for sustainable agricultural production and food security. Farmers in these areas face challenges such as low rainfall, high temperatures, and soil degradation, which reduce nutrient availability and limit crop yields. Effective fertility management strategies can improve soil health, enhance water use efficiency, and support consistent production even under harsh conditions. By adopting a combination of soil conservation, nutrient management, and crop planning techniques, farmers can optimise productivity and resilience in drought-affected areas.
