Abstract

Many development economists have regarded intercropping as a traditional way of ~owing. crops, w~ch to them cannot stand up to present day realities. The results in this paper and other research results ~!ve a d1f!erent picture. It shows ~at intercropping has a higher total productivity per urut land area and ~eater stab1hty of yields and revenues than its monocropping counterparts. It could therefore be seen as a system which could be used to fill the gap created by the problem of scarcity of land as well as using it to improve household food insecurity.
