Description

On 10 October 1973, Afghanistan launched an education program to teach soil conservation techniques to rural communities. Workshops demonstrated terracing, contour plowing, and erosion barriers. The program aimed to prevent long-term degradation of farmlands in mountainous regions. Extension workers traveled to remote villages to provide hands-on training. The effort strengthened environmental protection within agricultural districts.
