A specialised team from the Center for Arid Farming and Conservation Agriculture Research conducted a field visit to several agricultural fields in Sheikhan District on Tuesday and Wednesday, 3–4 November 2026, to collect soil samples for the necessary laboratory tests and analyses.

  The visit involved collecting soil samples from different sites and fields in accordance with established scientific sampling procedures. These samples will be analysed to determine the physical and chemical properties of the soil, assess its current condition, and evaluate its fertility levels. The results will also contribute to establishing a scientific database to support agricultural research and studies.

  This visit forms part of the Center’s efforts to conduct applied research and provide scientific information that supports improved soil management and sustainable utilisation. Such work contributes to enhancing agricultural production and conserving natural resources, particularly in areas where agricultural practices must be adapted to dryland farming conditions.

  This activity contributes to several United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 2: Zero Hunger; SDG 6: Clean Water and Sanitation; SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production; and SDG 15: Life on Land.
