| Zusammenfassung: | Sheep and wheat are the staples of dryland farms in the Mediterranean zone of the Northern hemisphere. The commonly used dryland farming system introduced in the 1950s is proving unsustainable. Erosion has reached a critical level and pastures have all but disappeared. Experts advise more cropping (forage crops for instance) and more fertiliser. Yet intensification of the present system will only hasten erosion. 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. Attempts to transfer their knowledge have often foundered. Why is this so? How much do the experts know about this system? This book pulls apart the warp and weft of development on dryland farms to try to find some answers to these questions |

The commonly used dryland farming system introduced in the 1950s is proving unsustainable. Erosion has reached a critical level and pastures have all but disappeared. Experts advise more cropping (forage crops for instance) and more fertiliser. Yet intensification of the present system will only hasten erosion. 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. Attempts to transfer their knowledge have often foundered. Why is this so? How much do the experts know about this system? This book pulls apart the warp and weft of development on dryland farms to try to find some answers to these questions Landwirtschaft Medicago / Africa, North Medicago / Middle East Dry farming / Africa, North Dry farming / Middle East Agriculture / Technology transfer Pflanzenbau (DE-588)4045547-6 gnd rswk-swf Etesienklima (DE-588)4153077-9 gnd rswk-swf Dry-farming (DE-588)4322567-6 gnd rswk-swf Luzerne (DE-588)4168357-2 gnd rswk-swf Naher Osten Naher Osten (DE-588)4068878-1 gnd rswk-swf Nordafrika (DE-588)4042482-0 gnd rswk-swf Nordafrika (DE-588)4042482-0 g Luzerne (DE-588)4168357-2 s Pflanzenbau (DE-588)4045547-6 s 1\p DE-604 Naher Osten (DE-588)4068878-1 g 2\p DE-604 Dry-farming (DE-588)4322567-6 s 3\p DE-604 Etesienklima (DE-588)4153077-9 s 4\p DE-604 5\p DE-604 Chatterton, Brian Sonstige oth Erscheint auch als Druckausgabe 978-0-521-33141-8 Erscheint auch als Druckausgabe 978-0-521-33741-0 https://doi.org/10.1017/CBO9780511470844 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 2\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 3\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 4\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 5\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
