Sustainable Agriculture on the Hillsides of Central America: Opportunities for Interinstitutional Collaboration: report on workshop

The paper refers to experiments with green-manure crops that require little investment and are capable of growing in marginal soils under minimum tillage and it emphasizes since 1987, thousands of small-farm families in Honduras, Yucatan, and other countries adopted the system of intercrops, using C...
