Topic: Sloping Agricultural Land Technology: Enhancing Soil Structure for Sustainable Reforestation.

This session will explore how Sloping Agricultural Land Technology (SALT) contributes to improving degraded soil structure and supports reforestation efforts. We will examine the principles of SALT, its techniques for soil improvement, and its integration with reforestation projects. Through in-farm case studies, we will address implementation challenges, discuss strategies for sustainable adoption, and highlight successful applications of SALT in various contexts.
