Agriculture Media Offered by Penn State Media Sales
| Slash-and-Burn Agriculture More on DVD Version | Uses Eastern Nicaragua as an example for the entire cycle of slash-and-burn agriculture, from site selection to harvest. The program diagrams the less-visible aspects, such as nutrient cycling and the structural similarity between a cultivated plot and the tropical forest it replaces, and studies the system's ecological efficiency and consequences of changes in population, land base, or technology. Directed by Brian Weiss and James Ward. |
