Sistemas silvopastoriles
[Ecuador]

Los sistemas silvopastoriles son una forma de combinar árboles o especies forrajeras con pasturas y animales dentro de una parcela. En la parroquia de Nambacola los arboles están dispersos en el potrero, y la distribución varía de 30 a 60 árboles por hectárea. Las especies más utilizadas son el faique, vainillo y porotillo.

INTEGRATED AGRICULTURE-BASED LAND USE IN AREAS WITH SALINE SOILS
[Thailand]

Salinity and associated land degradation in parts of the Northeast of Thailand limits production. Knowledge of saline soil management was integrated into an organic agriculture system: dolomite application adjusted pH levels, manure increased the soil's organic matter, while fermented bio-extracts stimulated root systems. Yields of chili pepper and parsley improved greatly.

EXTENSION OF SUNN HEMP AS A SOIL AMENDMENT IN SALINE SOILS
[Thailand]

An outreach programme aims to educate farmers about the benefits of ploughing rice stubble into the soil and incorporating green manure crops such as sunn hemp - as well as other sustainable practices. Groups of farmers are formed, and they are assisted by various organisations including the Land Development Department and volunteer "soil doctors".

Using shallow wells for crops and lowering the saline groundwater table
[Thailand]

Pumping groundwater from shallow wells for agriculture can control the groundwater table in recharge areas. It helps to manage saline aquifers and reduce soil salinity. Such shallow wells range from 25 to 30 meters deep. This technology is very well-accepted by the land users.

Land Use Change from Rice to Vegetables
[Thailand]

Land use change from rice to vegetables was started by a group of farmers with the help of the LDD who provided irrigation from groundwater through a 28m deep bore hole. This enables the groundwater level to be lowered preventing salination in the discharge area lower down.

Cultivos en terrazas
[Ecuador]

Los cultivos de terraza es uno de los tipos más antiguos de manejo del suelo y de los recursos hídricos para la agricultura a gran escala. Se conoce como cultivo en terrazas a la práctica de cortar un paisaje montañoso en zonas planas con el fin de producir cultivos. Una de las principales razones del uso de las terrazas de cultivo, ha sido para evitar la erosión del suelo, así como para canalizar el agua para el riego.
