Introducing locally adaptable conservation technologies
Implementation:
This strategy features in the framework of Agenda 21 as formulated at UNCED (Rio de Janeiro, 1992), now coordinated by the United Nations Commission on Sustainable Development and implemented through national and local authorities. Agenda 21 recommends promoting technologies of vegetative conservation measures for erosion prevention, [in situ] moisture management, improved cropping technology, fodder production and agroforestry that are low-cost, simple and easily adopted by local people. Claim:
The basis for change and improvement lies with making the people of the area the focus, making them responsible for their environment through the use of the traditional knowledge base as a foundation stone for sustainable real development, as if people matter. Broader:
