Soil degradation is now one of the most serious problems facing the world. It takes a number of forms of which soil erosion is one of the worst.

The problem is particularly severe in developing countries. Even though there may be sufficient food being produced worldwide, many poor people - even in those countries that are exporting food - do not have enough money to purchase what they need, nor do they have the opportunity to find work outside agriculture. The only way that millions of people in developing countries can exist is by farming whatever land is available to them. For these people it is vital that the productivity of the land is not only maintained but improved.

This book is recommended as a manual to rural development workers faced with the problems of land degradation in developing countries.
