Maximizing soil cover isn’t just about keeping soil in place; it is about creating a resilient ecosystem that protects and nurtures our planet. It is one principle to manage soil health. 🌱 Covered soil helps prevent erosion, retains moisture, and supports microbial life, making it richer and healthier. By keeping soil covered with crops or organic matter, we can capture more carbon, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and build climate resilience from the ground up. Let’s support nature’s way of regenerating our land! 📸: Cover cropping practiced by a farmer (name concealed), we are supporting Arusha, Tanzania. #PartnersAgainstHunger #CAFAESUP #SoilCover #ClimateAction #SoilHealth #CarbonFarmingSolutions

Minimum tillage is a sustainable farming practice focused on reducing soil disturbance and helping preserve soil structure. What will you achieve when you adopt minimum tillage? 📌 Saves on labor, and machinery costs. 📌 Lower fuel usage, 📌 Reduced soil erosion, 📌 Improved water penetration, 📌 Enhanced soil health 📌 Carbon sequestration: it reduces the release of carbon stored in the soil, helping lower greenhouse gas emissions. 🌾Start practicing today. #PartnersAgainstHunger #SoilHealth #MinimumTillage #CarbonStorage
