Conversely, there are numerous examples of practices — such as unsustainable irrigation techniques and technologies and rangeland manage­ment, as well as growing crops unsuited to the agroclimatic zone — that tend to accelerate, if not initiate, desertification pro­cesses.

Our approach was to try to comprehend the conditions of draft-animal use, the selection of animals and the utilization of the implements with regard to the variables of agricultural mechanization, including agroclimatic regions, soil types and farm systems, and subsequently to compile generalized experience with the implements.
