Purpose: This paper aims to discuss the necessity for the application of organic farming in Sudan to improve soil productivity and secure food production in arid and semi-arid areas of Sudan.
Design/methodology/approach: Different soil samples were collected from different locations in Sudan and analysed for an assessment of quality. Data dealing with aridity and climatic zones classification of Sudanese soils were also collected.
Findings: Results revealed lower organic matter content and low soil fertility status in all the studied locations. The availability of minerals (phosphorus and potassium) was found be very low. The application of organic improvers would improve the organic matter of soil and therefore soil productivity.
Original/Value of the paper: The application of organic farming systems is vital in Sudan for sustainable crop production and improving soil quality. Certain measures should be implemented regarding the organic farming systems, e.g., organic regulations and certification, also regulations regarding land use systems in Sudan should be modified.
