Erosion-Productivity Impact Calculator (EPIC)

The Erosion-Productivity Impact Calculator (EPIC) is a tool used to assess how soil erosion affects agricultural productivity. It estimates the loss of soil quality and the resulting impact on crop yields over time. By inputting data related to land use, weather, and soil characteristics, EPIC helps farmers and land managers understand the long-term consequences of erosion. This information is essential for making informed decisions about land conservation practices, sustainable farming methods, and ultimately ensuring food production remains viable in the face of environmental challenges.
