Small Farmers and the Protection of the Watersheds
Author: David T. Edwards
Publisher: Canoe Press (IL)
ISBN: 9789768125200
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 124
Book Description
This study addresses problems common to many developing countries: how can small farmers with limited resources be encouraged to conserve water and soil under difficult physical conditions, in countries where public sector capacity and financial resources are also limited? The Jamaican case is particularly interesting because natural conditions favour high rates of erosion and considerable efforts have been made over decades to conserve watersheds.
