The pilot project “Economic evaluation of soil and nutrient loss in Malawi” ( GLO/17/001//01/99), funded by the UNDP-UNEP Poverty-Environment initiative, analysed the economic impact of both soil and soil nutrient loss in Malawi with new country-representative data on soil erosion and nutrients loss indicators collected through field surveys, merged with detailed climatic data and socio-economic information. Soil/nutrient loss was translated into yield loss, the micro and macroeconomic economic impact of loss on agricultural production as a result of soil degradation was estimated, best practices were then identified to mitigate the soil and nutrient loss events in pair with net benefits in terms of growth of economic income, food security and poverty.
