| Using a data set collected in eight districts of Uganda, this study investigates how investment in soil fertility management (SFM) and conservation practices may affect natural resource outcomes, particularly the extent and level of soil erosion and soil nutrient loss.

From a policy perspective, public investment to encourage use of SFM and conservation technologies would help the country achieve sustainable agricultural production. |
