Under this practices sloping agriculture land technology (SALT-2 and SALT-4) were applied. In the sloping terrain fruits, fodder trees and broom brass were planted. Hedge row farming and alley cropping were applied. Different methods of agro-forestry practices were applied as necessary depending on site condition and specific condition of the farmers.

وصف موجز للبيئة الطبيعية ضمن الموقع المحدد.

Tropical to subtropical
Altitude ranges between 600 and 1800 meters. About 90% of the annual rainfall in the area occurs between May and September.
The soils of suborder Ochrepts and Haplustalfs (order: Alfisoles) are common in south facing areas.The soils, mostly in the steep slopes are prone to frequent landslides and gully erosion. The soil is of medium to light texture with a pre-dominance of course-grained sand and gravel of very high permeability. The soil reaction is moderately to strongly acidic. The organic matter, nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus contents vary from low to medium attributing to low to medium soil fertility.

Income level of household was significantly increased and out migration from that area slowed down.
Main source of household income is from the sale of fruits, and broom grass.
Most of the property rights of the land belong to the government. However, people are living in those areas from generation and practicing their age-old slash and burn agricultural practices. Although land belongs to the government people are using the land on customary basis. There is some fro of conflict on property rights issues because of the property right issues.

على أساس أي من المعايير و/أو المؤشر (المؤشرات) (التي لا تتعلق بالاستراتيجية) تم اعتبار الممارسات والتقنيات المناسبة على أنها "أفضل"؟

It is found that this practice is suitable in hilly areas with steep slopes. When fruits and, fodder and grass planted in the sloping lands it reduced soil erosion, landslides by retaining moisture in the land and also stopping soil moving from hill. Increased biomass in the form of fodder and grass significantly help to raise and expand the goat farming which is one of the best source for household protein requirement as well as for earning cash income from the sell of goats. When the fruits were harvested it quickly provided income through the sale of fruits mainly from bananas.

وصف موجز للتقنية ومواصفاتها الفنية

This best practice was developed and implemented by Manohari Development Institute, Makawanpur, Nepal. Slash and burn practices with long fallow period is considered good for sustainable farming practices, however, with the growing population, and with ever increasing demand and short fallow period, the slash and burn practices is considered worst especially triggering erosion on sloping land and growing forest degradation.
Under this practices sloping agriculture land technology (SALT-2 and SALT-4) were applied. In the sloping terrain fruits, fodder trees and broom brass were planted. Hedge row farming and alley cropping were applied. Different methods of agro-forestry practices were applied as necessary depending on site condition and specific condition of the farmers. After few years of implementation of this practice farmers are now earning income through the sale of grass and fruit.
