Abstract
This presentation is graphic only, showing illustrations from a best practices handbook as part of sustainable agriculture kits (SAK) developed for subsistence farmers. The illustrations cover the entire preparation, planting/sowing, and growing cycles of specific crops; utilization of appropriate technologies such as mechanical tilling, weed control, pesticide use; and expectations of harvest results depending of the method of cultivation. SAKGlobal is an effort to bring inexpensive technologies to the world’s one billion subsistence farmers. SAK kits are based on the principles of sustainable, ecological agriculture.
