- Managing farming of tropical lands
Description
Developing sustainable agriculture in humid areas involves implementing farming practices that maintain soil fertility, prevent erosion, and control pests and diseases exacerbated by high moisture. Key actions include promoting crop diversification, agroforestry, integrated pest management, and water-efficient techniques. These strategies address challenges such as nutrient leaching, flooding, and land degradation, ensuring long-term productivity and food security while minimizing environmental impact and supporting the livelihoods of local communities.
Implementation
DANIDA has prepared a series of strategies that examine environmental issues in agriculture in humid areas.
Claim
In order for humid tropical agriculture to be both highly productive and sustainable, it must imitate the highly productive, millions-of-years-old humid tropical forest.
