Tema(s): Recursos en línea: Resumen: Food supply and nutritional crises are recurrent in the developing countries. These nations are concentrated in the tropics, where rapid population increase and traditional farming practices are the norm. Cutting across most agricultural systems of the tropics is the longstanding phenomenon of mixed cropping, which has so many socioeconomic merits and, more important, such significant ecological implications that it is surprising that researchers and development planners have hitherto condemned it as an impediment to progress. Mixed cropping is man's best approximation of natural ecosystems and can become both the short-term and the permanent solution to the agricultural problems of the tropics.
