Recent years have brought major changes in the approach to land use and land degradation in developing countries. Norman Hudson analyzes these changes and offers fresh responses to the challenges. In addition, he stresses the need for involving the farmer at all stages of planning and implementing programs, for low-cost, low-labor methods, and for greater emphasis on sound land use and farming methods that rely less on engineering-based soil conservation.
