      abstract = {Alley farming was developed as a means of maintaining soil  fertility in fields under permanent cultivation in Africa,  as population pressure makes the traditional practice of  slash-and-burn combined with fallowing unsustainable. It is  an agroforestry system under which food crops are grown in  alleys formed by hedgerows of leguminous trees and shrubs.  Studies have shown that it works, but farmers are only  taking it up very slowly. Recent work suggests that land  tenure might be a factor in the spread of alley cropping.},
