The aim of this measure is to improve the quality of soil by addressing the three main threats, namely, the low levels of organic matter, soil compaction and soil erosion. Farmers engaged for AECC5 commitments are obliged to follow several commitments including parcel area of not less than 0.112Ha, record-keeping, soil organic matter analyses, submit a soil management plan, dispose of composting site, a 3-month uncultivated period and not less than 1% and 3% organic matter levels respectively for arable and irrigated land.

AgriConnect strives to provide beneficiaries with advice for improving soil fertility. This can only be achieved by enhancing the soil structure, water-holding capacity, biological activity, and air/water infiltration rates. Our dedicated team of agronomists equips farmers with SMP, and soil analyses attributed to organic matter levels to beneficiaries on a yearly basis.
