Effectiveness of using woven fabric in reducing soil erosion loss / Norsyafriza Ismail

Soil erosion is one of the most serious environmental problems in the world today, because it seriously threatens agriculture and the natural environment Adequate food supplies depend on productive land. Over one thousand million humans today are malnourished - more than ever before in the history o...
