Honduras, 2015. Agricultural activity
17 June 2015, Candelaria, Honduras - A field is seen prepared for the cultivation of Lempira maize. In Honduras, Central America, where up to 78 percent of the land used for agriculture is on hillsides, water provision is a major problem for communities relying on rainfall for farming. For years, this has had an impact on the generation of goods and services and the environment. That has all changed through a new agriculture system called Quesungual Agroforestry System (also known as the Quesungual Slash and Mulch Agroforestry System - QSMAS). It is helping keep what has traditionally been sub-humid land, moist. It is also contributing to landscapes with greater resilience to respond to the key challenges of slowing down soil erosion and improving water availability and quality. Through it, a group of technologies manage vegetation, water, soil, water and nutrient resources - all of which contribute to building sustainability through food security and resilience. In general, this land management strategy is improving the livelihoods of rural poor farmers and building a better set of resources for future generations.,17 June 2015, Candelaria, Honduras - A field is seen prepared for the cultivation of Lempira maize.
