Description
22 páginas
Abstract
This publication contains two papers that deal with sustainable agricultural development for small hillside farmers in Jamaica, focusing on institutional and technological considerations. The first paper established the background for a discussion of sustainability and looks at the issue in terms of institutional factors that influence technology generation and transfer appropriate to the needs of small hillside farmers. The second paper draws upon experiences of the MINAG/IICA Hillside Agriculture Sub-Project (HASP), and in particular on-farm adaptive research, to address the topic of sustainability.
