| Publisher Description: This book presents South Asia as a case study, due to the high soil erosion caused by monsoon rainfall and geophysical conditions in the region, which necessitate conservation agriculture approaches, and the high percentage of people in South Asia relying on subsistence and traditional farming. It takes an interdisciplinary approach to analyze systems at scales ranging from household to regional and national levels. |
