Center for Information on Low External Input and Sustainable Agriculture(ILEIA)
independent organization with the mandate to contribute to poverty alleviation through the promotion of agro-ecological approaches
Link:http://www.leisa.info/index.php?url=about.tpl
Description: ILEIA started in 1984 in response to a concern that mainstream agricultural development was bypassing farmers in the South. ILEIA started to identify promising technologies involving no or only marginal external inputs, but building on local knowledge and traditional technologies and the involvement of the farmers themselves in development. ILEIA supports Southern partners in their efforts to build up knowledge on LEISA and exchange experiences in several languages. Collaboration with ILEIA benefits Southern partners by ensuring increased access to and exchange of relevant information from all parts of the world, thereby providing a global perspective. LEISA Magazine documents practical field experiences with Low-External Input and Sustainable Agriculture. It offers an opportunity for those working in agricultural development, particularly in diverse, risk prone and resource-poor regions, to publish their experiences and to read about the experiences of others.

-Agriculture & gender
