Developing sustainable agriculture in humid areas
- Managing farming of tropical lands
Description
Developing sustainable agriculture in humid areas involves implementing farming practices that maintain soil fertility, prevent erosion, and manage excess water to reduce crop diseases and nutrient leaching. Key actions include adopting agroforestry, integrated pest management, and water-efficient cropping systems. These strategies aim to enhance productivity while conserving natural resources, supporting local livelihoods, and minimizing environmental degradation caused by deforestation, chemical runoff, and unsustainable land use in regions with high rainfall and humidity.
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.
