| Abstract: |
The soil and land resources play a vital role in the local livelihoods of rural communities as well as in the national economy. With much of the arable land already under cultivation and the ever-increasing demands for food and fiber, agriculture has already moved towards intensification. Yet, producing greater numbers of crops and quantities of food, fibre and other materials on the same parcel of land often leads to soil fertility and productivity decline with overall degradation of soil quality. Therefore, ways and means to intensify agriculture to eN hance productivity without degrading the soil and land resource base have become imperative. To this end, agro-forestry, agro-slivi-pastoral systems, and the adoption of a variety of crop, soil and water management and conservation practices offer potential to deliver multiple benefits without sacrificing the very resource upon which the human population depends……………………….. |
