Edited by Lori Ann Thrupp What works to develop sustainable agriculture practices? From rice paddies in Bangladesh to cornfields in Iowa, innovative people and organizations are working together and making progress to replace chemical-intensive farming methods with alternative approaches. The nine case studies featured in this report--from Asia, Africa, and Latin and North America--show how ecologically-oriented integrated pest and crop management practices can maintain or increase yields, increase soil quality and resilience, reduce agrochemical inputs and costs, and achieve other benefits. Though representing distinct farming systems, different geographical zones and scales, and varied cultures, the cases highlight common elements of success as well as constraints that must be overcome to implement and maintain sustainable and profitable production practices. Case Study contributors include: CARE, Bangladesh; ANGOC, Philippines; IFDP, Cuba; SIMAS/CATIE, Nicaragua; CIP, Senegal; ICIPE, Kenya; Rodale, Senegal; BIOS, California; and PFI, Iowa, USA 1996 / 148 pages / English 1999 / 160 pages / Spanish |
