19. Recommendation: Provide solutions for two types of situations that occur predominantly in Haiti (60% of land in intensively used areas and the remaining 40% under dry hillsides and other sites generally used in a "mining" way by many families).

Management Response: [Added: 2012/12/30] [Last Updated: 2016/02/22]

Key Actions:

23. Recommendation: The question of changes in the mode of operation is broader and covers agricultural activities in general, as for example the case of vetiver (Chrysopogon zizanioides) in areas of intensive farming in the upper basin of Cavaillon.

Management Response: [Added: 2012/12/30]

Key Actions:

24. Recommendation: The approach by Territorial Planning must actually be part of the entire SLM, but it needs for this to be fed adequately by local experimentation. The CIAT has to be that the LD becomes a central concern in planning land use

Management Response: [Added: 2012/12/30]

Key Actions:
