                                             Challenges
                Food insecurity prevalent around the world
                Small famers deal with low and unpredictable crop yields and 
                 incomes
                Millions of farmers in the world are struggling to feed their families
                    Land degradation
                    Land use pressures
                    Climate change
                                   Requirements
               Increase soil organic matter
               Improve soil structure
               Reduce soil erosion
               Increase water filtration
               Increase efficiency of water use
               Replenish soil nutrients
               Increase the efficiency of nutrient uptake
                                       Results
            Improved land and water management practices 
             to farmers and rural economies 
                Higher crop yield
                Increased supplies of valuable goods
                Increased income and employment opportunities
                Increased resilience to climate change
         Promising Land and Water 
              Management Practices
            Agroforestry
            Conservation agriculture
            Rainwater harvesting
            Integrated soil fertility management
                                     Agroforestry
              Integration of woody perennial plants (trees and shrubs) 
               with crops or livestock on the same land
              In Malawi, maize yields increased by 50% when nitrogen-
               fixing trees were planted in farms
              In Senegal, presence of certain shrubs in fields increased 
               nutrient-use efficiency and helped create a soil high in 
               organic matter, nitrogen, and phosphorus
              Practiced in Africa, Latin America, Asia, and parts of Europe 
               and North America
