Lesson 15 - Reference - Diversified Farming Cases

Lesson 15 - Reference - Sustainable Palm and Prairie Strip Cases

Lesson 15 - Reference - Customary Forests

Diversified farming like intercropping helps farmers have stable incomes if diseases, pests, or storms hurt one crop, but not the other(s).
Sustainable oil palm farms maintain healthy soils that help improve harvests, which means more income for farmers.
Customary forests provide people with stable food, water, and materials, and protection from landslides.
