Beschreibung

The commonly used dryland farming system in the Mediterranean introduced in the 1950s is proving unsustainable. Erosion has reached a critical level and pastures have all but disappeared. Is there an alternative system that is both environmentally sustainable and within the means of most farmers in the region? Innovative farmers in a similar climate in Australia discovered a sustainable rotation using annual medics as both fertiliser and pasture. This book pulls apart the warp and weft of development on dryland farms to try and find some answers.
