The document discusses soil and plant health issues in Bhutan. It notes that Bhutan's mountainous landscape is prone to land degradation and low soil fertility due to inadequate nutrient inputs and excessive nutrient depletion from intensive cropping without rotation. Other issues include a lack of soil policy and analysis laboratories. Challenges involve limited arable land, resource constraints, and developing fertilizer guidelines. Recent initiatives include appointing soil focal persons, observing World Soil Day, promoting integrated plant nutrient management to improve soil health and yields, and training communities in sustainable soil management. Priority areas are organic agriculture, land terracing, farm mechanization, irrigation infrastructure, and rainwater harvesting.
