Farmers' adaptive effort to soil erosion and land productivity decline: The case of the Uluguru Mountains, Tanzania
Abstract
dc:description"In 1940 agricultural experts reported that soil erosion in the Uluguru mountains was so serious that the area's agriculture would not be able to support its population in a year's time even if soil erosion were completely controlled. Yet, demographic data and the growth in commercial vegetable production since the 1960s all suggest farmers in the Uluguru Mountains have survived, contrary to the prediction of ""experts"" in 1940. This study examines farmers' adaptive effort in response to soil erosion and land productivity decline in the western Uluguru mountains of Tanzania."
