LEISA magazine documents practical field experiences with Low External Input and Sustainable Agriculture. It offers an opportunity for those working in agricultural development, particularly in diverse, risk prone and resource-poor regions, to publish their experiences and to read about the experiences of others. The LEISA Magazines document promising technologies involving no or only marginal external inputs, building on local knowledge and traditional technologies and the involvement of the farmers themselves in development.
