Descriptive Annotation
The author discussed the process of soil erosion an erosion rates in selected farming systems in the
Cordillera and at the same time assess the effectiveness of hedgerow buffering as a soil conservation technique in controlling erosion in these systems.
Indigenous knowledge on crop-livestock production were explained by the author, were diversity and integrations of different crops and animals surrounding the rice farm served as a broad-based source of income and sufficient food.
Best farming practices in the production of native rice were documented giving justification in the continuous production of native rice including description of the farming practices being performed per cropping calendar.
This paper discussed the different indigenous strategies being practiced in
Bayyo, Bontoc, Mt. Province and Ducligan, Bucloc, Abra to sustain productivity in their different production systems.
