Abstract

This publication documents and describes a series of land management technologies that have been developed and/or adapted by farmers in Kenya, Tanzania, and Ethiopia. The selected 18 initiatives have been identified under the project Promoting Farmer Innovation (PFI). The initiatives have been chosen on the basis of their potential for improving conservation through production and their potential for rapid spread to other farmers.
