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.<\/h3>\n<h3>\u00a0 This visit forms part of the Center\u2019s 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.<\/h3>\n<h3>\u00a0 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.<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone  wp-image-42194\"
