Subject: New Agricultural Development Book
Land Use Changes in Tropical Watersheds: Evidence, Causes and Remedies
Edited by G E Shively, Purdue University, USA, and I Coxhead, University of Wisconsin, USA
This book studies land use change in tropical landscapes, with particular emphasis on the economic processes that influence rates of land degradation and forest clearing. Multidisciplinary contributions draw lessons from a rich, decade-long collection of economic, social and environmental data on the Manupali upland watershed in the southern Philippines. Through this detailed case study the book documents forces leading to land use changes, in particular the potential impacts of institutional evolution and policy reforms, and highlights interrelationships between biological, economic, and social phenomena. It is the result of a long-term project from the Sustainable Agriculture and Natural Resource Management Collaborative Research Support Program (SANREM CRSP), funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).
