Rotation program: Diverse rotation of at least five crops on farm level for more biodiversity and less intensive cultivation practice
In the tested area one of the main problems in terms of LDD is soil erosion, which is accelerated with hymnal activities (cultivation, irrigation, fertilizing with mineral fertilizers etc.). As a result an intensive degradation of land is occurring. Most prone areas to the land degradation (soil erosion and depletion …
Establishing a knowledge base and communication platform in collaboration with para-ecologists for monitoring changes in ecosystems, to aid decision-making in forest management.
The MARP approach, as reported here from Madagascar, is a participatory, but rapid, interdisciplinary assessment of local perspectives on livelihoods and natural resources use.
Communicating and transferring scientific results and recommendations about sustainable land management to local people
The Participatory Learning and Action Research approach to Integrated Rice Management (PLAR-IRM) is a bottom-up, social and experiential learning approach, leading to sustainable agricultural improvements, based on mutual support and communication among farmers.
Participatory simulation to foster stakeholder dialogue in natural resource management, conciliate resource conflicts and enable participatory land use planning
Crop residue management consists of leaving crop residues on farmland after harvest. This reduces evaporation during the dry season. The decomposition of the residues contributes to improved soil fertility, while the underground biomass (roots) enhances soil structure. In the case of legumes, root nodules provide nitrogen for subsequent crops.
A Rice Field with Poor Drainage (RMME) is a cultivated rice field enclosed by embankments, relying on an irregular water supply, and facing potential water scarcity risks at the onset, during, or towards the conclusion of the cropping cycle. Specific rice varieties are particularly well-suited to this type of rice …
Contour farming involves cultivating the soil perpendicular to the slope, that is ploughing along the contour. This minimizes runoff-induced erosion.
