Abstract

Top soil erosion is a serious problem threatening the sustainability of rain fed agriculture in the semi-arid tropics. Yet, farmers do not take strong measures to prevent soil loss. This study, covering farmers in a watershed in Yavatmal district of Maharashtra, attempts to assess farmers' perception of land degradation and examine their actions to alleviate its perceived effects.
