Conclusion
GMCC systems are a promising option for the sustainable and productive management of soils in smallholder farms in tropical and subtropical regions. Field-level experiences in this volume include ones that have been clearly successful or indicate signs of having future promise, others that have been mixed and ones that have not led to improvement at farm level. It is hoped that lessons from them will help improve future research and diffusion efforts.
