The chapter describes the role of the Ministry of Agriculture, which aims to preserve the soil and improve its fertility. Conservation agriculture, which is a form of agricultural cultivation that reduces soil damage, includes no-till, permanent plant cover, crop rotation, and maintaining biodiversity. Sustainable agriculture helps to cope with climate change and reduces damage. Alon emphasizes the need for local authorities, especially regional councils, to be involved in soil conservation and climate change preparedness plans. Regional councils can integrate agricultural land management into these plans, which will help both farmers and the preservation of the rural character.
