Land Reclamation
The challenge
Erosion, overuse and poor water management leave land degraded: the topsoil washes away, water runs off instead of soaking in, and crops struggle to grow.
That land is often written off, though with the right work it can be brought back into production.
What we do
We assess why the land is degraded and plan how to restore it:
- Soil rehabilitation to rebuild fertility and structure
- Erosion control to keep soil and water in place
- Water management so rain and irrigation water reach the crops
The aim is land that produces again, and stays productive.
What you receive
- An assessment of the land and the causes of degradation
- A reclamation plan with the measures it needs
- Support carrying out the work
- Advice on farming the land sustainably afterwards
Work process
How it works
- Step - [01]
Land assessment:
We survey the site and test the soil to find out what’s holding it back.
- Step - [02]
Reclamation plan:
We set out the soil, erosion and water measures the land needs.
- Step - [03]
Restoration work:
We carry out the measures with you and your team.
- Step - [04]
Back into production:
We advise on crops and practices that keep the land healthy.
Questions and answers
Questions about Land Reclamation
Degraded and marginal land, such as eroded, nutrient-poor or poorly drained land. An assessment tells us what’s possible on yours.
Usually a mix of soil rehabilitation, erosion control and water management, depending on the causes.
Yes. We work on environmental and land projects with state programmes, including ACReSAL work in Nasarawa State.
It depends on the land’s condition and the measures needed; we give a timeline with the plan.
