Despite being one of the hotspots for soil erosion in the world, little is known regarding farmer's knowledge of soil erosion in the highlands of South‐Kivu in the Democratic Republic of Congo. A proper understanding of farmers' knowledge regarding soil erosion and conservation measures is a prerequisite for implementing resilient erosion control measures. The objective of this study was therefore to assess farmers' knowledge of soil erosion, to document existing soil and water conservation (SWC) measures and to identify their adoption constraints in the highlands of South‐Kivu. Data were collected using interviews with a semi‐structured questionnaire involving 720 respondents from eight watersheds in four territories. Farmers reported eight main erosion indicators. As opposed to gullies (80% of farmers), rills were perceived as important erosion indicators by only 50% of farmers, despite their common occurrence. Farmers were largely unaware of the potential impact of their crops and cropping practices on erosion. Farmers knew about only a limited range of SWC measures, which were perceived to be little to moderately efficient. Furthermore, the average level of adoption was very low (21%). Adoption constraints varied widely depending on the SWC measure. Thus, future interventions need to place much greater emphasis on awareness regarding soil erosion and SWC measures, to strengthen farmers' capacity for experimentation and adaptation to new technologies and finally to create a policy and institutional environment that stimulates widespread adoption of SWC techniques.

南基伍(刚果民主共和国东部)的水土流失和水土保持:农民的观点

尽管它是世界上水土流失的热点地区之一,但农民对刚果民主共和国南基伍高地的水土流失知识知之甚少。正确理解农民对水土流失和保护措施的知识,是实施有力的水土流失控制措施的前提。因此,本研究的目的是评估农民对水土流失的认识,记录现有的水土保持措施,并确定他们在南基伍高地的收养限制。使用半结构化问卷进行访谈收集了数据,该问卷涉及来自四个地区八个流域的720名受访者。农民报告了八个主要侵蚀指标。相对于沟壑(80%的农民),尽管普遍发生小溪,但只有50%的农民认为小溪是重要的侵蚀指标。农民基本上没有意识到他们的作物和耕作方式对侵蚀的潜在影响。农民只知道SWC措施的范围很有限,而这些措施被认为效率不高。此外,平均采用率很低(21%)。采用的限制因SWC措施而异。因此,未来的干预措施应更加重视对水土流失和SWC措施的认识,增强农民的试验能力和对新技术的适应能力,并最终创造一个政策和体制环境,以鼓励SWC技术的广泛采用。农民基本上没有意识到他们的作物和耕作方式对侵蚀的潜在影响。农民只知道SWC措施的范围很有限,而这些措施被认为效率不高。此外,平均采用率很低(21%)。采用的限制因SWC措施而异。因此,未来的干预措施应更加重视对水土流失和SWC措施的认识,增强农民的试验能力和对新技术的适应能力,并最终创造一个政策和体制环境,以鼓励SWC技术的广泛采用。农民基本上没有意识到他们的作物和耕作方式对侵蚀的潜在影响。农民只知道SWC措施的范围很有限,而这些措施被认为效率不高。此外,平均采用率很低(21%)。采用的限制因SWC措施而异。因此,未来的干预措施应更加重视对水土流失和SWC措施的认识,增强农民的试验能力和对新技术的适应能力,并最终创造一个政策和体制环境,以鼓励SWC技术的广泛采用。被认为效率低到中等。此外,平均采用率很低(21%)。采用的限制因SWC措施而异。因此,未来的干预措施应更加重视对水土流失和SWC措施的认识,增强农民的试验能力和对新技术的适应能力,并最终创造一个政策和体制环境,以鼓励SWC技术的广泛采用。被认为效率低到中等。此外,平均采用率很低(21%)。采用的限制因SWC措施而异。因此,未来的干预措施应更加重视对水土流失和SWC措施的认识,增强农民的试验能力和对新技术的适应能力,并最终创造一个政策和体制环境,以鼓励SWC技术的广泛采用。
