## Problem ## Problem
Current fertilizer and soil fertility recommendations are not linked to local context, conditions and climate risks. Too general information may lead to declining soil fertility and soil health, low and uncertain productivity, fertilizer wastage, loss of organic matter, and environmental risks. Integrated Soil Fertility Management (ISFM) has the potential to improve effectivity and efficiency of agronomic practices including both fertilizer recommendations and organic matter management and thereby boost crop production and farm income. Also, ISFM has the potential to deliver multiple co-benefits including climate adaptation (through improved water holding capacity and soil cover) as well as climate mitigation (through carbon sequestration).​ Current fertilizer and soil fertility recommendations are not linked to local context, conditions and climate risks.

title: 'Kenya Soil Water Conservation'
date: 2023-07-05

## Problem
Soil erosion is a major threat to sustainability and productivity with knock-on effects on the climate crisis and food security. It decreases soil fertility negatively affecting crop yields on fields, while eroded sediments from upstream clog downstream, dams, rivers and canals causing sedimentation and flooding. This is particularly true for hilly areas in Ethiopia, Kenya and Rwanda with high erosion risk. Soil erosion can be prevented and arrested through soil and water conservation (SWC) or sustainable land management (SLM) practices. Current land use and land management practices including crop cultivation as well as grazing do not sufficiently consider local potential, limitations and climate and soil erosion risks. While general information on improved land management may exist, context-based information on land resources, and climate and information on feasible SLM alternatives is not widely available or applied by land managers. ​
## Goal
Stakeholders informed of status of soil erosion risks and motivated to apply and promote more sustainable land use and land management practices through improved policies, plans and agricultural extension services, including contributions to Land Degradation Neutrality (LDN) monitoring and reporting.​
## Scope
Catchment managers, authorities and farmer organisations can use the system to obtain information on the suitability of various sustainable land uses and land management practices for agricultural production and land restoration. These is based on existing data (soil, terrain, crop, climate), apps (decision support tools, etc.) and GIS based land suitability and soil erosion models, accessible in the LSC-hub.​
## System
LSC-IS hub, land suitability applications, Soil erosion and AEZ models and data used in national LDN monitoring and plans for County development, catchment management and farm management.​
## Scale:
- National
- sub-national, landscape or catchment
- local level​
## Primary actors
- Local: catchment management-, agricultural extension staff, farmer’s and other community-based organisations and authorities.​
- District: ​
- National: national and regional agriculture and forestry/natural resource management authorities, planners and project managers, UNCCD focal points.​
## Secondary actors
Hub-hosts and administrator: EIAR, KALRO, RAB; related data providers.​
## Beneficiary
Farmers and communities.​
## Scenario​
The intermediary actor accesses the LSC-Hub’s web-based data system or portal, and finds existing information on Land, Soil and crops. The intermediary actor converts this information into land use and land management recommendations and advise to ultimate end users, in particular farmers.​
