    My Soil Conservation Advocacy Campaign

    I. Problem Identification
    Human Activities that affect the Quality and Quantity of Soil

    II. Gathering Information


    Various causes of soil degradation including deforestation, misuse or excess use of
    fertilizers, Industrial and Mining activities, Improper cultivation practices, erosion,
    Urbanization and also physical, biological, and chemical factors. These activities could
    bring harmful effects to the soil and It has led to increased pollution and sedimentation in
    streams and rivers, clogging these waterways and causing declines in fish and other
    species. And degraded lands are also often less able to hold onto water, which can worsen
    flooding. The possible thing to do to provide solution is to avoid doing activities
    mentioned that could harm and affect the soil.

    III. Planning
    Goal
    The goal is to control soil erosion by preventing or limiting soil particle detachment
    and transport in water or air.
    Objective
    - To reduce all forms of soil erosion.
    - To increase agricultural productivity in sustained manner without deteriorating the soil
    health.
    - To minimize flood hazards
    - To conserve soil
    Outputs
    They can revive damaged soil, minimize erosion, encourage plant growth, eliminate
    the use of nitrogen fertilizer or fungicide, produce above-average yields and protect crops
    during droughts or flooding. The result is less labor and lower costs that increase farmers'
    profits.
    Method
    Following methods are normally adopted for conserving soil:
    - Afforestation
    - Checking Overgrazing
    - Constructing Dams
    - Changing Agricultural Practices

    IV. Actions
    The following are to be practiced in order to realize the objectives of the
    campaign, but it is not limited only to the activities provided.

    - Forest Protection
    - Plants trees to secure topsoil
    - Crop rotation
    - Maintain pH
    - Water the soil
    - No compacting

    V. Evaluation
    All in all the advocacy campaign has worked well regarding of the conservation of
    the soil but some of the activities that needed to be done was not successfully managed
    because of lack of availability of resources. It is expected that if they continually able to
    do the good practices that could enhance the fertility of the soil then nothing would gone
    differently in the future but to remain the conservation of the soil.
