Improving Farming With Nuclear Techniques

  • 1. International Atomic Energy Agency, Division of Public Information, Vienna (Austria)

Description

Soil erosion, land degradation, the excessive or inappropriate use of fertilisers in agriculture and poor water quality are threats to the environment and hamper development. IAEA projects apply nuclear technology to evaluate these risks and find ways to make better use of water and soil resources. Many countries have benefited from this programme, including Qatar, Chile, Kenya, Turkey, Vietnam and Bangladesh.
