Abstract

This report presents some pictorial and descriptive highlights of Productive Land Use Systems Project accomplishments. Selected land use techniques promoted by the Project are described and estimates of their impacts on farm income are given. The estimates of project impact relate to the 9-month period from the project start date in October 1992 through June 1993. The major portion of the report presents photographs and descrip­tions of specific farmer's experiences with the promoted techni­ques. The land use techniques or "project interventions" featured here are hedgerows, checkdams or "gully-plugs," vegetables gardens, and trees.
