Contour: information on soil and water conservation

Contour is a new publication which will be a forum for the exchange of information among the member countries of the Asia Soil Conservation Network (ASOCON). ASOCON's goal is to assist in developing the expertise required to help small-scale farmers of the member countries use the land available to them on a productive and sustainable basis. Through Contour, which is to be published three times a year, it seeks to establish a flow of information among its participating countries about soil and water conservation in the region, for example on ongoing projects and programmes and current issues on soil conservation. Contour will try to achieve a balance between popular and more technical subjects, and welcomes accounts of successful and unsuccessful experiences from members of the network. It will provide information on publications written in or about, the region (China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, Philippines and Thailand), and will keep readers up to date on ASOCON activities and those of other national or regional organizations.
