Conservation Agriculture in Subsistence Farming: Case Studies from South Asia and Beyond

Catherine Chan, Jean Fantle-Lepczyk, "Conservation Agriculture in Subsistence Farming: Case Studies from South Asia and Beyond"
English | 2015 | ISBN: 178064423X | PDF | pages: 280 | 3.3 mb

Conservation agriculture systems have long-term impacts on livelihoods, agricultural production, gender equity, and regional economic development of tribal societies in South Asia. This book presents South Asia as a case study, due to the high soil erosion caused by monsoon rainfall and geophysical conditions in the region, which necessitate conservation agriculture approaches, and the high percentage of people in South Asia relying on subsistence and traditional farming. The book takes an interdisciplinary approach to analyse systems at scales ranging from household to regional and national levels.
