Some aspects of land use planning

Exporter la citation

This paper, which was presented at the above conference, examines critically the need for land capability classification principles. The theory upon which the classification system is built outlined. The author has thrown a challenge to scientists to apply the accumulated scientific knowledge properly in planning. The tendency to apply models to the tropical environment that have been proven elsewhere is castigated. The author has expressed the need to collect and analyze information as a basis for deciding on objectives. Explaining the merits of agroforestry, the author has underlined the importance of background information as a basis for planning. For example, in fragile ecosystems the most suitable land use ought to provide a many layered cover to soil. If that is so, agroforestry systems might be more profitable.
