A compilation of SLM technologies and approaches to enhance Integrated Soil Fertility Management in Ethiopia

ProSoil Ethiopia has disseminated SLM practices enhancing Integrated Soil Fertility Management (ISFM) across the Amhara, Central Ethiopia, South Ethiopia, Sidama, and Tigray regions: practices for soil fertility management, for water and soil management and infrastructure, for agriculture and agroforestry and for farmer research and extension. 14 practices enhancing ISFM documented within the activities by ProSoil Ethiopia are compiled to this document. This document disseminates invaluable knowledge on SLM practices, reinforces the good practices highlighted and supports evidence-based decision-making. It is organized as follows: the context and method used for documentation are described in the first part, categories of SLM practices are presented in the second part, while the final sections of the document describe SLM practices, their implementation mechanisms and their ecological, economic and social benefits.
