Spring 1995 (v7n2)
UC SAREP has released a new publication for farm advisors and others who work with Spanish speaking farmers and farm workers. A guide to Spanish Language Sustainable Agriculture Publications is a collection of English abstracts of 74 Spanish-language documents about sustainable farming practices. The abstracts cover a wide range of topics, from principles of sustainability to practical information about soil and water management, agricultural machinery, field safety and learning English as a second language.
Each abstract includes the author of the original publication, a summary, its availability, cost and level of readability. Most publications were chosen so that individuals with primary or secondary education can read them.
SAREP has established repositories of the original Spanish documents at five strategic sites in California including the farm advisors' offices in San Diego and Fresno, at UC Santa Barbara, at the Rural Development Center in Salinas, and at the Small Farm Center at UC Davis. The 90-page publication was compiled by Beatriz Cabezon and published by SAREP in December 1994.
