    There are several initiatives in Eastern Africa to promote sustainable agriculture practices as environment-friendly and alternative to conventional agriculture. However, little has been done to document the good agricultural practices or even lessons learnt from these initiatives. Farmers today still lack access to information on sustainable agriculture practices. Sustainable agriculture seeks an environmentally sound, socially equitable and economically viable ways to produce to meet the ne eds of the present without compromising those of future generations.

    This manual is part of SUSTAINET’s effort to promote sustainable agriculture in the region. It is developed to reflect the experiences and views sustainable agriculture practitioners (farmers, researchers, member organizations and institutions of higher learning). This manual is intended primarily for farmers and field extension service providers. It is written in simple English language with illustrations, and easy to un derstand.
