Jamaican small farmers implement hedgerow/alley cropping to mitigate the impacts of hydro-meteorological hazards. The hedgerows/alley cropping system is the growing of crops, usually food crops, in an alley formed by trees or woody shrubs that are cut back at crop planting and maintained as hedgerows by frequent trimming during cropping (Wilson and Kang 1981). Farmers in Jamaica showed high acceptance of this technology because it is easy to implement, has a low financial cost and is effective to compact soil erosion.
