dc.description | In 1979 Oxfam (UK and Ireland) began to fund an experiment in soil and water conservation in the drought-prone Yatenga region of Burkina Faso. By 1992 the technique of building stone diguettes along contour lines had won international acclaim and many imitators; cereal yields had significantly increased, and natural vegetation was growing spontaneously again. | en_US |
