Problem:
- failure to introduce erosion control by regulation and command
- continuous decline of yields and land resource
Local knowledge merges with modern systems:
- multi-layered maps based on aerial photography, local soil taxonomy and land demarcations help community to decide on erosion control strategy
Impact:
- protected land yield increases between 50 – 130%
- erosion control measures go beyond individual farms
- communities drive implementation and follow-up: empowerment
Application: Burkina Faso
