These mountain communities depend on rain-fed subsistence agriculture which means that for sustainable subsistence crop production, they also depend on nutrient availability and use efficiency in farming households. A study under way in the area has looked at loss of land cover and infestations of plant pests and diseases and is using this information to raise farmers’ awareness of soil fertility and to introduce best cropping practices. specialized CONSERVATION DU SOL MISE EN VALEUR DU SOL HAUTE ALTITUDE SOL DEGRADE SOL CULTIVE AGROFORESTERIE PRATIQUE CULTURALE FERTILITE DU SOL PRODUCTION AGRICOLE PAUVRETE VULGARISATION AGRICOLE DEVELOPPEMENT RURAL PROJET DE DEVELOPPEMENT ZONE DE MONTAGNE KENYA KILIMANJARO 068EROSOL Romeo R. ed. edt IRD Vita A. ed. edt IRD Manuelli S. ed. edt IRD Zanini E. ed. edt IRD Freppaz M. ed. edt IRD Stanchi S. ed. edt IRD 119-121 Rome FAO 2015 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010064566 978-92-5-108804-3 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010064566 https://horizon.documentation.ird.fr/exl-doc/pleins_textes/divers15-06/010064566.pdf IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2015-06-26 2016-04-03 fdi:010064566 fre
