Reports on program to promote colonization and agrarian development in the Bolivian lowlands. To increase food production and reduce overpopulation in the highlands, the Government of Bolivia (GOB) has encouraged settlement of new farmlands in the eastern areas, especially in Santa Cruz Department, site of the best agricultural lands. Soils are well suited to crops now grown (e.g., maize, rice, beans, other legumes, yuccas, fruits, vegetables, and potatoes) and to other new crops which are successfully grown in similar climatic areas. The nuclear development pattern, settling 40 families around a village center with landholdings extending outward like spokes of a wheel, has proven effective. However, the traditional slash-and-burn farming system is counterproductive, limiting the amount of land under cultivation and severely depleting forest resources. New methods taught in an orientation program include multiple cropping, continuous cropping, integration of crop and livestock production, and diversification of farm enterprises. Recommendations are to: encourage greater private sector involvement; exploit forest resources to generate capital; integrate livestock and crop product
