This text consists of selected, edited and revised papers from a workshop held at ICRAF in July 2000. It synthesizes existing information on the adoption of natural resource management investments and strategies for agriculture.
Conventional tillage and burning crop residues has degraded the soil resource base and intensified soil degradation with concomitant decrease in crop production capacity. The emerging issue of global warming coupled with greenhouse gases emissions has further aggravated the scen…

Conservation agriculture
Conservation agriculture?consisting of four components including permanent soil cover, minimum soil disturbance, diversified crop rotations and integrated weed management?is considered the principal pathway to sustainable agriculture and the conservation of natural resources and…
This is the first book to focus on farm and rural community management in less favored areas of Japan. It provides an economic framework for, and empirical findings on, rural community management in terms of the distribution of rural resources, efficiency of farmland conservatio…
