# Aumente la Producción Conservando su Suelo [Increase production by conserving your soil]

Barefoot farmworkers with machetes tend contoured, terraced crop rows on a hillside in tropical dress, under a Spanish slogan urging more production through soil conservation. The tell for plain-folks is the ordinary smallholder shown as the model, and for glittering-generalities the abstract call to 'increase production' with no specific figure.
