Description
Summary:There is growing consensus that to meet global food-security requirements, agricultural sectors will need to pursue appropriate strategies for sustainable intensification of production. This volume reports on current ‘work in progress’ to achieve this via an approach known as System of Crop Intensification (SCI). Collated from the contributors’ work with farmers in their respective countries – and illustrated throughout with case studies, data, pictures and feedback – it presents a set of ideas and experiences to encourage people to think ‘outside the box’ of current practices.
