Description:	To rehabilitate the productivity, C sequestration, and biodiversity of the huge expanses of low biomass, abandoned pasture in the Amazon, it has designed and it is being testing four agroforestry multistrata systems (sequences of crops, pasture and trees). The systems were designed on the basis of an intensive farmer survey and the results of two decades of soil/plant research in the Amazon. A key specification of the design was to optimize both biological productivity and economic returns, while minimizing nutrient losses through a combination of biological and modest chemical inputs.
