While it strives to conserve its forests and farm it, Turkey faces a serious threat: the loss of land. Erosion cost the country 113 million tons of soil annually. The Minister of Environment, Urban Planning and Climate Change, Murat Kurum, said that the country was able to do so decrease Annual loss of 500 million l current number but this is not enough.
Corum tweeted earlier this week that 1cm of Soil is formed in 500 years, while it takes only 45 years for You are Eating. He said that Turkey is committed to reducing erosion losses, noting the ongoing efforts, including afforestation, in a area of 30 million square meters in 81 provinces.
Hikmet Ozturk, Deputy director of Turkish Foundation for Soil erosion control, reforestation and protection of natural habitat (tema), says 39% of Turkey’s agricultural lands and 54% of The pastures are suffering from erosion. “All secondwe lose 1 millimeter of Earth size of Almost four football fields “.
The government Loaded out a series of National projects, including concrete steps and train public. All efforts part of Corrosion Action Plan project implemented years ago for Preservation of soil and sustainability of Natural resources and food security. The plan includes cultivation, rehabilitation, erosion control and restoration of pasture in a area of About 2 million hectares (4.9 million acres). Country also set up Dynamic erosion model and monitoring system for impact monitoring of water and wind on Stripping. Sustainable land management training is also Provided across the country to inform farmers.
Directorate General of Forestry (OGM) leads the effort and, between 2013 and 2019, kept erosion under control in a area of more More than 530 thousand hectares. OGM data shows that efforts reduce Stripping over sprawl of 56 years old was less than that in The past 17 years. The amount of The soil carried by erosion was about 500 million tons annually in By the 1970s this had been reduced to 154 million tons thanks to strenuous efforts, the latest being 113 million tons. The projects aim to reduce amount of Soil swept away by erosion while preserving the upper layers of Agricultural areas to increase crop yields, promote economic life of Dams, improve water quality and reduce Injuries and damage to property as a result of factors associated with erosion.
Ozturk explained that soil is vital for Planet, from climate conservation to oxygen generation, biodiversity conservation and generation of Water. “The world Today faces two major problemsClimate change and loss of Biodiversity. Soil in the heart of ban of these issues. The main source of global Warming is use of Fossil fuel stored under the soil, which increases amount of carbon in He said “the general atmosphere”. Ozturk in an interview with Anadolu Agency (AA) on wed that 95% of Food is derived from the earth. So, Earth also Necessary for our health added.
“Healthy land also means luxury for Humans. Losing land means the end of civilizations in The past. We have to conserve the soil to meet the food demand of population development, Ozturk said.
pointed out out That perfect land for Agriculture needs to contain at least 5% organic matter but on agricultural land in Turkey had very low levels of organic matter, below 3% in most places. “We have to implement new Intensity practices of Organic Matter.” “Climate Change Will cause Droughts are widespread and even if we manage to maintain rise in At 1.5 °C (2.7 °F), drought will prevail.
Increase organic matter content Helps soil retain water more And water is necessary for Agricultural Production “.
constitutes soil degradation one of The biggest threats to food security around world. more than half of Soils around the world are now classified as degraded, with Almost 1.5 billion people living on degraded lands. This damage, by and large result of industrial farming practices, over- grazing and global Warming, generates a huge amount hidden cost for the society. Along with Climate change, erosion and degradation are associated with urbanization and rising population.
