This commitment aims to better management of soils in Africa

Showing that:
- soil is a crucial support for production systems;
- preserving the soil carbon content is essential, especially in arid and semi‐arid regions;
- it is necessary to quantify the impact of management practices on carbon sequestration in the soil, for various African pedoclimatic conditions;
- the linkage between research institutions, civil society and development organizations must be promoted;
- the dissemination of scientific results for decision makers, civil society and farmers must be reinforced;
- the expertise and training capacities of teams dealing with soils in Africa must be reinforced.
