Transforming a monocrop coconut farm into a resilient food forest can sustainably enhance soil health, biodiversity and productivity while reducing labour and external input requirements. This demonstrates the potential to increase yields and provide long-term economic and ecological stability for farmers.

Shallow tillage involves disturbing the upper layer of soil without deep ploughing. It aims to provide a good seedbed, incorporate manure, control weeds, and enhance water infiltration while minimizing soil erosion and compaction. A machine tiller has recently replaced animal traction for this purpose.

Organic agriculture is a system of crop cultivation that uses biological methods of pest control and organic fertilizer as substitutes for chemical fertilizers and pesticides. It targets sustainability, enhancement of soil fertility, and biological diversity by aiming to close nutrient cycles while generally prohibiting synthetic pesticides, antibiotics, synthetic fertilizers, genetically modified organisms, and growth hormones.

Forests in headwater areas benefit water quality and hydrologic cycling. Furthermore, maintaining and restoring the forest cover in headwater catchments offers other, multiple benefits such as increased soil water retention, intercepted pollution pathways, improved soil, maintained biodiversity and captured carbon dioxide.

Intercropping of grain legumes with cereals is a sustainable agricultural practice in Swiss farming. This involves growing grain legumes (such as peas or beans) alongside cereal crops (like barley or wheat) in the same field, reducing crop failure or yield risk, stabilising the grain legumes, promoting biodiversity and enhancing overall crop yield.

In this approach the inclination of pasture land and its effect on the spread of sun and shadow is used to identify different periods for grazing. This simple approach will raise awareness and provides biological aspects in pasture management. In this approach the vegetation cover of the pasture is linked to the position of the sun. This is specific to mountain areas, where in one location vegetation periods can differ in two spots although they are in the same location.

"Pasture and Livestock Management Plan" is a participatory approach which is guiding pasture users, members of Pasture User Unions and Pasture User Groups to develop their action plan on pasture and livestock management. The approach brings together stakeholders, who are involved at any stage in pasture management or can contribute to or impede the implementation of the pasture livestock management plan.

L'Organisation des Nations Unies pour l'Alimentation et l'Agriculture (la FAO) a employé une démarche participative pour restaurer des terres dégradées au Sahel à grande échelle. Les communautés ont joué un rôle essentiel dans l’exécution du programme. Dans le cadre de l'Initiative de la Grande Muraille Verte, des espèces d’arbres indigènes, des arbustes et des graminées fourragères ont été plantés dans les terres agro-sylvo-pastorales pour répondre aux besoins et aux préférences des communautés, tout en assurant que les espèces et les variétés végétales seront toutes appropriées aux conditions écologiques.

Les champs-écoles de pasteurs améliorent les moyens de subsistance et la résilience des communautés de pasteurs à travers un processus d'apprentissage expérimental et participatif concret. Ce sont des «écoles sans murs», introduisant de bonnes pratiques agricoles et commerciales, tout en s'appuyant sur les savoirs locaux. L'approche des CEP s'appuie complètement sur les principes de l'apprentissage par la découverte, pour traiter un large éventail de problématiques affectant les moyens de subsistance des pasteurs.

The cut stump technology is probably the most effective means of killing mature Prosopis trees using the herbicide Triclon with active ingredients Triclopyr 480g/l . Stems are cut with a chainsaw as close to the ground as possible and the herbicide is applied to the stump within three minutes of cutting using a paintbrush. The young plants with less than 2 cm root collar diameter should be uprooted by hand. The treatment is repeated after three months on resprouting stumps.
