From Water to Land: Creating Innovative Solutions for Soil Health and Fertility in the Sahel

In July 2024, the #SoilValuesProgram initiated participatory soil fertility and soil health diagnostic activities with small-scale agricultural producers and livestock breeders living in watershed and sub-watershed communities in identified areas of Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger, and northern Nigeria. Community members met with Soil Values ​​teams and discussed their concerns about the management of soil fertility and soil health in their respective areas as well as their expectations for solutions. Following these discussions, community members and the Soil Values teams co-designed beneficial activities to be carried out in 2024. The Soil Values ​​program organized these diagnostic activities with a synergistic approach, aiming to strengthen the actions of existing projects and programs already working on soil health and soil fertility in the Sahel. #SoilHealth #SoilFertility #Sahel #AgriculturalDevelopment #NetherlandsProgram
