| Abstract: | Soro woreda is located in Hadiya zone in SNNPR which is about 265 km from Addis Ababa. The woreda has experienced various productivity challenges caused by various land degradation factors; such as cultivating steepy landscapes which caused high soil erosion and low soil fertility that significantly affected crop productivity in the area. Furthermore, the farmlands in the woreda are highly affected by soil acidity, which are aggravated by high level of soil erosion caused by over grazing and free grazing on communal/individual land. Although Soro woreda is characterized by mixed farming system, the overwhelming natural resource degradation occurred in the past few decades threatened the eco system and livelihoods of the community. |
