Farmers and Soil Conservation in the Caribbean
Synopsis
This book considers conservation measures designed to reduce the main type of soil loss in the Caribbean, which is soil erosion by water. The document is presented in two volumes. Volume I examines the status of soil erosion and conservation in the Region, the sociological factors in soil conservation programmes, and the legal and institutional context in which all soil conservation must be implemented and managed. Volume II focuses on the technology. It examines the farming systems approach to soil conservation and the methods now being employed to ensure that conservation projects are integrated into the farming system. The final chapter draws conclusions and suggests some guidelines for future projects and programmes which will be of interest to planners, agriculturalists and everyone concerned with land use in the Region.
