Teaching smallholders to combat soil erosion
A systems framework forms the basis of a training tool for field professionals working with smallholder households on the impact of farming activities on soil erosion and conservation. Methods for the field assessment of both biophysical and economic aspects of erosion and conservation by developing country professionals and field staff are included. The methodology has been published and presented at meetings and training workshops. The publication was originally put on the Internet and is now available in print in English and Spanish, with an Arabic version in preparation. The technique has been widely adopted around the world. It is used in 26 countries with eight more about to take it up. This includes 12 countries of sub-Saharan Africa. (Ref: NRSP06)
