Betru Nedasa (WFP National Coordinator. MoA, Addis Abeba (Ethiopia))
Accelerated soil erosion is a combination of natural factors and human intervention that are not commonly in harmony. There have been attempts to arrest soil erosion in the Amhara region for the last thirty years, partly through the support of the world food programme. Farmers have also developed their own conservation and land management practices. This paper reviews the problem of land degradation in the region, the causes and extent of the problem, the efforts made to reverse the situation and future strategies to achieve successful natural resource management and improved productivity.
