 A103 LEISA Magazine
Magazine of the Centre for Low-External-Input and Sustainable Agriculture (ILEIA)
This magazine carries practical articles that are sometimes relevant to agroforestry extension. Issue
16/3 was on Agroforestry
The website states: "ILEIA started in 1984 in response to a concern that mainstream agricultural
development was bypassing farmers in
the South. ILEIA started to identify promising technologies involving no or only marginal external inputs,
but building on local knowledge
and traditional technologies and the involvement of the farmers themselves in development. Information
about these technologies was
exchanged mainly through the ILEIA Newsletter. LEISA is the abbreviation of 'Low External Input Sustainable Agriculture'.
LEISA enables
the creation of viable small scale farming, which is a major part of rural livelihoods and thus contributes
significantly to developing
economies. LEISA is about finding technical and social options open to farmers who seek to improve productivity
and income in an
ecologically sound way. LEISA is about optimal use of local resources and natural processes and, if
necessary, safe and efficient use of
external inputs."
