dc.descriptionThe Haiti Productive Land Use Systems (PLUS) Research Project continued and expanded the work of the Haiti Agroforestry project. It was intended to encourage Haitian farmers to plant trees as part of an overall plan by USAID to curb the devastating erosion which was washing the top soil into the sea. This project also investigated the effects on other crops as a result of tree planting.en_US
dc.description.abstractThis report contains the summary and syntheses of five surveys that were part of the on-going effort by SECID/Auburn University and its partners in PLUS, PADF, and CARE, to implement a Monitoring and Evaluation System which orients the project towards activities which will bring about sustainable increases in farmer income and crop production, while conserving natural resources. The surveys also provided information on technologies promoted by PLUS, as they are presently implemented in the survey areas. These surveys contribute to our understanding of farming systems in various parts of Haiti and how they relate to interventions available to PLUS. They provide new insight into the dynamic relationships between soil conservation, crop and livestock production, trees, farmer income, organization of labor, land tenure and other factors of the farming system. They raise important issues to be addressed in the implementation program and point out possible new areas of opportunity to achieve sustainable increases in farmer income.en_US
