This book was released on 2012-04 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soil degradation in the highlands of Ethiopia, owing mainly to poor land management and high population density, is a serious problem that threatens the sustainability of agriculture. The study area is characterized by high population density, small land holding and severe soil erosion and increasing expansion of crop land to agriculturally marginal areas. Consequently the people are unable to produce enough food. Although many efforts have been made to develop and promote several soil and water conservation technologies, their adoption has not been widespread. Based on the findings of this study effort should be made to understand the various personal, socio-economic, institutional and bio-physical factors that determine farmers' decision on adoption and sustainable use of improved soil and water conservation technologies. Lack of appreciation and integration of indigenous knowledge of the farmers has also brought the ultimate failures and misuse of funds. Moreover, econometric model developed in this study can lay the foundation for predicting the level of effects of the major adoption determinant factors and can be superimposed in undertaking similar studies.

This book was released on 2023-11-23 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The FAO estimated that five out of six farms in the world are operating less than two hectares of land, suggesting that small-holder farmers are producing over one-third of the global food. The cropping systems practiced by smallholder farmers play a vital role in agri-food production systems and help to reduce hunger, improve nutrition, and provide livelihoods to millions across the developing countries. The performance of these cropping systems has a direct impact on achieving the multiple Sustainable Development Goals (2030) of No Poverty (SDG 1), Zero Hunger (SDG 2), and Good Health and Wellbeing (SDG 3). System intensification is now widely recognized as an essential pathway to achieve food and nutrition security in developing countries. The numbers of smallholder farmers are rapidly increasing in both developing and underdeveloped countries, however, they are increasingly facing challenges to run profitably. Cropping system intensification (CSI) could be one of the ways to make such production systems more remunerative for these farmers.
