Description :
Region studied is susceptible to land degradation, which has attracted the concern of government organizations, non-government organizations, and others. However, their soil-conservation suggestions - hillside ditches, alley cropping with leguminous tree hedgerows, grass strips, and incorporation of perennials - have not been adopted by most farmers. Authors seek a better understanding for poor adoption rate and search for alternatives. - (SLD)
