Descripción
This technology describes a combination of good practices for soil and water conservation that were introduced to coffee farmers in the central cattle corridor of Uganda, with aim to enhance their resilience to dry spells, pests and diseases, as part of the Global Climate Change Alliance (GCCA) project on Agriculture Adaptation to Climate Change in Uganda. The concepts of mulching, trenches, organic compost and planting shade trees are briefly introduced. Additionally a cost-benefit analysis of the combination of the four good practices compared to normal practices are presented.
