Environmental degradation associated with production agriculture is a universal problem of monumental proportions in every geographic region of the world.

Major topics include these categories:

• An evaluation of technical solutions to soil and water conservation problems
• An assessment of the issues associated with soil and water conservation in both developed and developing countries
• An evaluation of area-specific soil and water conservation programs that includes Africa, Asia, western Europe, eastern Europe, Central and South America, Canada, and Australia.
