Combiner les intrants internes et externes pour une intensification durable de l'agriculture por Ruben, Ruerd, Lee, David R.

“…L'agriculture reposant sur un niveau peu élevé d'intrants extérieurs (LEIA) s'est rapidement imposée comme une alternative stimulante ou, plus fréquemment, comme un complément aux technologies de la Révolution Verte...Les programmes qui encouragent le développement des technologies LEIA ont le plus de succès lorsque les intrants disponibles localement sont combinés avec des intrants externes soigneusement utilisés. ...Trouver la combinaison optimale entre intrants internes et externes est un processus complexe aux enjeux élevés. Il est probable que les petits fermiers bénéficient moins de cette technologie et l'abandonnent lorsque l'accès aux intrants externes complémentaires n'est pas assuré. …”
