| Abstract: | Mt. Kilimanjaro is one of the most densely populated areas in Tanzania, largerly because of the ecological and economic succes of the Chagga cropping system. The home gardens enable the farmer to sustain production with a minimum of external inputs, and are often cited as an example of model land use. The present article identifies the system's major components, describes their interactions and management aspects, and presents an evaluation of the system's ecological stability, productivity, and sustainability. - Fig., photogr., ref., tab. |
