Soil Doctors
• “Volunteer Soil doctors” are farmers selected from
each village who are trained in the basic soil testing
program, soil mapping units and land degradation
techniques. They are representatives of LDD’s
officers and whose role is to assist farmers in
implementing proper land management practices.
• They are also messengers that distribute
information about land development to farmers
and transfer messages regarding land use problems
from farmers back to LDD.

How are they selected?
• Good health, at least 20 years of age, willing
to work ,
• Keen on land development activities and
reside in concerning areas ,
• Already received a general training to be
aware of the importance of land resources
management, conservation and basic
practices.

• After completion of the general training
course
a higher level training course will be
further provided for 10 selected innovative
farmers from each village.
one among others will be
appointed and registered to become a village
Volunteer Soil Doctors

• At present, there are approximately 80,000
of them represent the LDD at village level
to cover the whole country.

- Collaborators at different levels are involved.
Network of Volunteer Soil Doctors

• Land Development Department (LDD)
“LDD” is the core organization to conserve and
improve soil resources for agricultural productivity,
food security, and sustainable land use. LDD
provides to help volunteer soil doctor to perform
their task effectively.
The role of “LDD”

Agricultural mechanization in Afghanistan (Oct-2014)

Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations

Agriculture is a vital sector of Afghanistan's economy, accounting for 20% of GDP and employing 75% of the labor force. Wheat, barley, corn, rice, cotton, and fruits/nuts are important crops grown in Afghanistan. Farming systems are influenced by soil, climate, resources, ecology, and social/economic factors. Livestock also plays an important role through use for farming power and dairy/meat production. Mechanization has been limited due to the mountainous terrain, lack of transportation infrastructure, and low farmer incomes. Main farm machinery used includes tractors, ploughs, harrows, seed drills, sprayers, and harvesters. Further mechanization could help increase and improve crop

FACTORS AFFECTING CROP PRODUCTION

prabhakarareddy A V

Crop production is influenced by many genetic and environmental factors. Only 7% of land has suitable conditions for crop growth without advanced technology. Key factors include temperature, precipitation, solar radiation, and atmospheric gases. Temperature affects crop growth through biochemical reactions and influences cardinal temperature points. The right amount of precipitation and solar radiation are essential for photosynthesis and water requirements. Relative humidity and vapor pressure deficit impact evapotranspiration. Understanding these factors is important for optimizing crop yields.

Land management

Atrayee SenGupta

Erosion control techniques like terracing, contour plowing, contour bunding, and windbreaks are used to prevent soil erosion. Terracing involves creating stepped fields on sloped land to slow water runoff. Contour plowing involves plowing across slopes along elevation contours to allow water to slowly settle into the soil. Tree planting and using organic fertilizers also help control erosion and improve soil quality over time. Sustainable land management practices like conservation agriculture can mitigate climate change by reducing emissions and increasing carbon absorption in soils and forests.

Lecture 1 Farming system scope importance and concept.pdf

ThrishaM3

This document provides definitions and concepts related to farming systems. It defines farming systems as an appropriate mix of farm enterprises that allows farmers to profitably raise crops and livestock while maintaining ecological and socioeconomic balances. Integrated farming systems aim to efficiently utilize resources and recycling of farm wastes to increase productivity and sustainability. The key principles of farming systems are that they are cyclic, rational, and ecologically sustainable. Farming systems provide benefits like higher profits, food security, adoption of new technologies, and environmental protection. The goals of integrated farming systems are to provide a steady income while maintaining the productivity of resources and achieving agro-ecological equilibrium.

Agriculture and climate change

Bijay Singh

The document discusses the relationship between agriculture and climate change. It notes that agriculture both contributes to climate change through greenhouse gas emissions and is impacted by climate change through changes in temperature, precipitation, and extreme weather. Agriculture accounts for 30% of global anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions. However, agricultural practices can also help mitigate climate change by increasing carbon sequestration in soils through conservation tillage and agroforestry. Global mitigation potential from agriculture is estimated at 5.5-6.0 gigatons of carbon dioxide equivalent per year by 2030, with soil carbon sequestration accounting for 89% of potential. Climate-smart agriculture aims to increase productivity, resilience, and mitigate emissions while enhancing food security.
