Necessity of Strengthening the Resilience of the Agricultural Sector for Soil and Water Conservation

Flooding and soil erosion are unfortunate hazards that cause huge and irreparable damage to the natural environment and man-made properties every year. Due to the importance of the agricultural sector in the country's economy and also the provision of food for the people of the society, for the sustainability of agriculture, special emphasis should be placed on the number of resources available in the agricultural sector and the factors affecting decision-making and allocation of resources. Although it is important to pay attention to the category of resilience in the agricultural sector, there are very few studies related to the improvement of resilience in the agricultural sector against floods and controlling soil erosion. Hence, the current research aims to identify ways to improve the resilience of agriculture against floods, while examining the importance of resilience, the effect of floods on agriculture and food security, and finally, ways to strengthen resilience in the agricultural sector dealing with floods and soil and water conservation. The results of this review research can be a scientific and key basis for researchers, executive officials, and managers of the country's agricultural sector. It will also help farmers consider different management methods to deal with all kinds of risks, especially floods and soil erosion.
