Ecological and meliorative state and fertility of soils of the Southern Aral Sea region

According to scientific forecasts, as a result of increased soil degradation processes over the next 25 years, food production on a global scale will decrease by 12%, which may lead to a 30% increase in food prices, which in turn is a direct link to land degradation, reduced soil fertility, and increased food prices. In addition to increasing the efficiency of land use, improving the state of melioration and ecology through the use of soil-protective, agrotechnical, agro-ameliorative and other measures, scientific research is being conducted in the world in a number of priority areas, including the prevention of soil salinization in the Aral Sea region, the elimination of landslide consequences, soil fertility modeling, in addition to studying soil, modern technologies of geoinformation systems are used in the development and management, and the corresponding developments are being introduced into production.
