Irrigation consumes three quarters of globalwater withdrawals each year. Strategies are needed toreduce irrigationwater use, including increasingtheefficiency of transfer methods and field *** restoration of soil health, specificallythrough organic matter amendments, can substantiallyreduce irrigation demand and increase crop yield. Aprogram to restore severely degraded and desertified soilsby incorporating coarse woodchips into the soil success-fully increased rainfall capture and elevated soil moisturefor several weeks between rainfall events at both Ningxia,north-west China and North Dakota, USA. With additionof fertilizer, woodchip incorporation further increasedgrowth of wheat and alfalfa. Comprehensive soil healthassessment of remnant grasslands was used to developtarget reference soil profiles by which to guide restorationefforts. Given that most agricultural soils are degraded tosome degree, soil health restoration can provide a powerfulstrategy toward achieving global food and water security.
Rapidly changing planning contexts, new stakeholder demands, and intensified natural resource conflicts have resulted in questions about the adequacy of traditional resource planning. These questions include the lack ...
