Objective of the practice: The objective is soil restoration through integrated approach to achieve climate change adaptation and mitigation and to rejuvenate landscape ecosystem for sustainable livelihood. Scientific and innovative solutions are applied in addressing local needs to improve soil health and thus productivity, minimize risks of climate change, sequester carbon, reduce GHG emissions, conserve biodiversity and undertake integrated actions to neutralize land degradation through involvement of community. Specific Objectives: Implementation of activities: The approach of integrated soil fertility improvement consists of following practices. A. Integrated Soil Restoration Measures (ISRM): The restoration measures promoted are B. Land Degradation Neutrality (LDN) Measures: Watershed development work carried out to undertake repair and maintenance of erosion control measures through participatory approach, promote field runoff control measures (masonry field outlets) and water harvesting measures to catch the rain water for future use. C. Climate Smart Actions (CSA): The smart practices include use of climate smart varieties and microbial consortia, integrated nutrient and pest-disease management, solar powered pumps, improved methods for crop cultivation, cropping pattern in different land use system, mulching and micro irrigation techniques and agronomic measures for conserving soil and water. These practices will help to reduce GHG emissions from crop production. D. Biodiversity actions: The interventions were minimization of ecosystem degradation and conservation of local species suitable to existing agro climatic conditions, integrating crop and livestock farming, agro ecological interventions focusing crop and soil microbial diversity. The agro ecological interventions are aligned with crop diversity, flora and fauna diversity and improving the productivity. Results/outputs/impact: Following are the outcomes: Sustainability and replicability: The practice has high potential of replicability as it deals with climate change adaptation and mitigation through soil restoration approach. It will also ensure sustainable livelihood and conservation of natural resources. It has potential of replication in areas where low productive lands and waste lands results in the vulnerability of rural community to climate change impacts and also degradation of lands. The wadi system with additional components such as water resources development and community mobilization has been replicated by BAIF over the past three decades. Subsequently, it is being replicated nationally by the National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development. The sustainability is being achieved by ensuring the participation of local institutes like farmer producer organisation, village development committees and women groups.
