Recent history reveals that both the large-scale reforestation
projects of the 20th century have often been less successful than
anticipated, and that tree growing by smallholders - as an
alternative means to combat deforestation and promote sustainable
land use - has received relatively little attention from the
scientific and development communities. Taking a first step to
addressing that balance, this collection of peer-reviewed papers
adopts a comparative approach to explore the potential role that
tree growing by farmers can play in sustainable forest management.
The goal of this approach is to identify common threads and to
start to develop a framework for future research and practice.
Presenting case studies from the Philippines and comparative
data from a number of Asian countries the book reveals that farmer
tree growing has the potential to play a significant role in
sustainable forest management, and discusses the surrounding issues
which must be addressed in order to realise this potential.
The book is primarily aimed at research scientists and graduate
students interested in relevant aspects of forestry, agroforestry,
agricultural diversity, natural resource management and
conservation in agricultural landscapes, as well as those involved
in sustainable development and international development studies.
It will also provide a valuable reference for professionals,
managers, consultants, policy makers and planners dealing with
issues in sustainable development, natural resource management,
land use change issues and participatory approaches to resource
management.
