EXPERIENCE OF DEVELOPED COUNTRIES IN ECONOMICALLY INCENTIVIZING SOIL FERTILITY IMPROVEMENT

Overview & Synopsis

The issue of improving soil fertility through economic incentives is becoming increasingly relevant in the context of climate change, land degradation, and the need for sustainable agricultural intensification. Under the conditions of climate change, where water scarcity, salinization, and soil erosion are becoming more severe, declining soil fertility directly threatens food security, rural livelihoods, and economic stability. Traditional agronomic measures alone are insufficient; therefore, integrating economic mechanisms such as subsidies, tax relief, and performance-based support can motivate farmers to adopt soil-friendly practices. By aligning economic interests with ecological goals, such policies not only enhance resource efficiency but also foster long-term resilience in the agricultural sector.
