The study used the 2002/03 Uganda National Household Survey in eight districts representing six major agro-ecological zones and farming systems. Farmers in these districts deplete an average of 179 kg/ha of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, which is about 1.2 percent of the nutrient stock stored in the topsoil. The value of replacing the depleted nutrients using the cheapest inorganic fertilizers is equivalent to about 20 percent of household income obtained from agricultural production. The findings of this study also underscore the great concern that soil nutrient depletion poses since it contributes to declining agricultural production in the near term as well as the longer term.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO INFORMATIONAGRICULTURAL ACTIVITIESAGRICULTURAL EXTENSIONAGRICULTURAL INPUTSAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIONAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIVITYAGRICULTURAL RESEARCHAGRICULTUREAGROFORESTRYBIODIVERSITYCAPITA INCOMESCAPITAL GOODSCATCHMENTCLIMATIC ZONESCOMMODITYCONSERVE SOILCROPCROP PRICESCROP PRODUCTIONCROP RESIDUESCROP ROTATIONDEFORESTATIONDISCOUNT RATESDURABLE GOODSECOLOGICAL ZONESECONOMETRIC MODELSECONOMICSECONOMISTSEMPIRICAL EVIDENCEEMPIRICAL RESEARCHEQUIPMENTEXTENSION SERVICESFALLOWINGFARMFARM ACTIVITIESFARM BUILDINGSFARMERFARMERSFARMINGFARMING SYSTEMSFARMSFERTILIZERFERTILIZERSFISHFOOD INSECURITYFOOD POLICY RESEARCHINCOMEINCOMESINPUT USEINTERNATIONAL FOOD POLICY RESEARCH INSTITUTELABOR MARKETSLAND DEGRADATIONLAND IMPROVEMENTLAND MANAGEMENTLAND PARCELLAND PRODUCTIVITYLAND QUALITYLAND QUALITY INDICATORSLAND TENURELAND TENURE SYSTEMSLAND TITLINGLAND USELIVELIHOODSLIVESTOCKLOW INCOMEMAIZEMARKET PRICESMULCHNATURAL CAPITALNATURAL RESOURCENATURAL RESOURCE DEGRADATIONNATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENTNATURAL RESOURCESNUTRIENT BALANCENUTRITIONOPPORTUNITY COSTSOPTION VALUEORGANIC PRACTICESPLANTINGPLOWINGPOLICY MAKERSPOOR FARMERSPOOR HOUSEHOLDSPRODUCERSPRODUCTIVITYRADIO PROGRAMSRAINFORESTSRECYCLINGRESOURCE CONSERVATIONSAVINGSSEEDSEEDSSMALL FARMERSSOILSOIL EROSIONSOIL FERTILITYSOIL QUALITYSOILSSUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTSUSTAINABLE LAND MANAGEMENTSUSTAINABLE LIVELIHOODSTILLAGETILLINGUSEWAGE RATESWATER RESOURCESWorld Bank10.1596/8647
