This PowerPoint summarizes the research and training activities of SANREM’s regional project in the Central Plateau Haiti. The presentation describes a baseline survey conducted at the beginning of the project that discerns smallholder characteristics which drive adoption and reveals existing soil conservation practices. It describes findings from from bean cultivar evaluations, maize cultivar evaluations, studies of maize yields under conservation agriculture, and weed populations under different cover crops. The author concludes that conservation agriculture can be an improved production system in the Central Plateau of Haiti.
