She also expressed her appreciation for the GLI for initiating the activity, which she said was a form of natural resource management business (UPSA).
The UPSA is a comprehensive soil and water conservation effort on a plot of dry land. It can be done for the construction of terraces and drainage channels, as well as the intensification of good farming by taking into account the sustainability of the land.
The UPSA is also useful in mitigating disasters, especially to face the challenges of climate change, including hydrometeorological disasters.
"We know there are ways to manage the nature well, and we should work on that," said Siti. (mcr9/mcr20/jpnn)
