Water resources and biomass accumulation
Loss of biodiversity
Vegetation degradation
Organic matter depletion
Poor infiltration of rain water
Reduced soil capacity
Reduced soil productivity
Evaluation of Farmers use of Sustainable land management practices for climate change adaptation
In a 2011 study by the Rural linkage Network, over 89% of Farmers in the Niger delta region of Nigeria suffer land degradation and low farm output due to heavy rainfall patterns.
While other instances in other part of the world lies, this agricultural science project topic is specifically concerned about farmers use of sustainable land management practices available to them for climate change adaptation.
