  abstract = 	{This article argues that Konso agriculture constitutes a unique set of land use and labor exchange practices well-suited to the area's mountainous terrain, water scarcity and depleted soils. Included are descriptions of the construction of erosion-protecting stone terraces following the contours of hillsides, conservation of rainwater with wells and reservoirs, applications of manure, and mixed cultivation of a wide variety of cereal, root and tree crops.},
