The Zschortau Plan. International Sustainable Land Management Facility: An Integrated Programme for Soil, Water and Nutrient Management

Plan of action developed at a workshop on environmental and productivity dimensions of soil, water and nutrient management sponsored by the German Foundation for International Development (DSE) and the International Board for Soil Research and Management (IBSRAM) and held in Zschortau, Germany in September 1994. The action plan was a follow up to IBSRAM's position paper 'Soil, Water, and Nutrient Management Research: A New Agenda,' which was discussed at the CGIAR meeting in May 1994. The Zschortau plan proposed a coordinated international program on sustainable land use and land management. A list of projects and a paper by Eric Craswell of ACIAR on strengthening research consortia in soil, water and nutrient management are attached. The document was presented for consideration at TAC 65 and at CGIAR International Centers Week, October 1994

Soil, Water and Nutrient Management Initiative: A Global, Integrated Plan within the Ecoregional Framework

Revised proposal for a program covering management of soil, water and nutrients initiated by IBSRAM and involving at this stage, CIAT and the Deutsche Stiftung für internationale Entwicklung (DSE). It was proposed to organize four consortia devoted respectively to management of acid soils; replenishing soil fertility; managing soil erosion, and optimizing soil and water use. The proposal was distributed to TAC, and to the CGIAR Chairman and Secretariat on behalf of the participants in a four day consultation held at the DSE center in Feldafing, Germany in June 1995.Agenda document at TAC 67 in July 1995
