Description
Dessale Wasie presents a 2026 survey of what drives farmers in northeastern Ethiopia to keep soil and water saving works. The Golina watershed study covered 364 households picked in three stages, backed by field walks and group talks. Nearly every farmer had joined conservation drives before, and two in three still kept at least one practice in place.
Contour ploughing and soil bunds ranked as the most kept measures, with rates near or above ninety percent in named villages. A count model showed that farming years, income, group membership, slope, know-how, and belief in the gains each raised the number of practices kept. Distant fields and better land each lowered the count. The author urges stronger know-how sharing and village groups, tuned to each slope and soil, to hold the gains.
