Modifying Taungya System to Promote Soil and Water Conservation

Session: The presentation will discuss recent changes being implemented in the TFS Meru Plantation Forest through the ‘Taungya’ management of land. Farmers contract to cultivate land which is planted to forestry species for annual crops until the tree canopy closes, but until recently, did not concern themselves with soil erosion. The presentation describes how new measures are being introduced to reduce the soil and water runoff onto village farmers downstream.

Speakers: Robert Faida is the manager of the TFS Plantation Forest of Mt. Meru.
