Because of the inequality in control over food-producing resources, the landless farmers in south east Asian countries develop slopes of mountains by cut and burn. However, heavy rains cause fluid and erosion, hence so that the productivity of sloping land is seriously decrcased. Considering the situation of sloping land, several alternatives have been applied. Among others, the sloping agricultural land technology(SALT) has been intensively developed by Mindanao Baptistic Rural Life Center(MBRLC) since 1978, and it is believed as an appropriate farming system for sloping areas in south east Asian countries.
