ABSTRACT:
The Citanduy II Project's model farm program on steep slopes in West Java was started in 1981 with the dual goals of reducing erosion and increasing farmer incomes. Both goals appear to have been reached. However, input requirements and output restrictions of the program reduced the farmers ability to respond to changing market conditions and, consequently, reduced the success of the project in increasing net incomes.
