Drip irrigation, also known as trickle irrigation is a method which minimizes the use of water and fertilizer by allowing water to drip slowly to the roots of plants, either onto the soil surface or directly onto the root zone, through a network of valves, pipes, tubing, and emitters.

Progressive terracing technology is established through successive deposits of sediments behind (upstream) any anti-erosional structure, in this case contour strips of vetiver grass (vetiveria zizanioides). To better stabilize the slopes in the long-term, trees are planted downstream of the vetiver hedges.

L’agroforesterie est un mode d’exploitation des terres agricoles associant des arbres et des cultures et/ou des élevages. La technologie diversifie et augmente la production et engendre des bénéfices sociaux, économiques et environnementaux pour les propres exploitants des terres. En outre, plantés autour des maisons, les arbres offrent la protection contre …
