Growing crops is a challenge in the hilly terrain of Assam-India. To counter this, Sloping Agriculture and Land Technology (SALT) has been introduced as an alternative farming method to the farmers in place of jhum.  Farmers are trained on - A-frame or making the contour line by using the A-frame; and planting Nitrogen Fixing Trees (NFT) as hedge rows in the contour line. These NFTs act as barriers to prevent the soil from eroding and at the same time to increase soil fertility. In between the rows, the farmers cultivate other crops ranging from permanent, semi-permanent to seasonal crops depending on the farmers. Farmers are motivated to adopt the SALT method as it simple, easy, and affordable.
