Summary

The Vetiver System (VS) relies on a unique tropical plant, vetiver grass, which has been proven and used in some 100 countries for soil and water conservation, slope stabilization, land rehabilitation, pollution control, water quality improvement, disaster mitigation and many other environmental applications that can mitigate the impact of global warming and climate change. The Vetiver System is easy to use, low cost, and, if applied correctly, works! This handbook describes its most important uses for the agricultural sector where its should be a key farm technology for farmers of any scale, but particularly small farmers and rural communities in tropical and sub-tropical countries, where it could change the lives of many thousands of people through the provision of a better quality of life and income benefits.At this time of approaching global food shortages and high food prices the the Vetiver System should be considered and used by every farmer in the tropics.
