  • Does rural outmigration affect investment in agriculture? Evidence from Ethiopia

    Open AccessDegnet Abebaw, Assefa Admassie et al.ARTICLEMigration and Development2021

    This paper investigates impacts of rural outmigration on household spending in agriculture. Empirical data come from two rounds of panel surveys of households living in three major regions of Ethiopia. Accounting for potential endogeneity of outmigration and selection bias using a combination of a difference-in-difference (DID) model and an inverse-probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) approach, we find that, on average, rural outmigration ha…

  • Swidden Cultivation

    Open AccessChristine PadochOTHERThe International Encyclopedia of…2018

    Swidden cultivation is a way of farming that involves the clearing of natural or largely natural vegetation, usually using fire, to plant crops for one or two years and then allowing woody plants to regenerate on the plot for two or more years before clearing and cropping it again. Now largely confined to tropical uplands, it was once more widely distributed. Despite its long history and wide use, swidden cultivation is in decline in most areas. …

  • Trees for life

    Open AccessJames Reed, Josh van Vianen et al.ARTICLEForest Policy and Economics2017Cited by: 16References: 11

    Despite expanding interest in ecosystem service research over the past three decades, in-depth understanding of the contribution of forests and trees to food production and livelihoods remains limited. This review synthesizes the current evidence base examining the contribution of forest and trees to agricultural production and livelihoods in the tropics, where production often occurs within complex land use mosaics that are increasingly subjecte…

  • High-yield oil palm expansion spares land at the expense of forests in the Peruvian Amazon

    Open AccessVíctor Hugo Gutiérrez-Vélez, Ruth Defries et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2011

    High-yield agriculture potentially reduces pressure on forests by requiring less land to increase production. Using satellite and field data, we assessed the area deforested by industrial-scale high-yield oil palm expansion in the Peruvian Amazon from 2000 to 2010, finding that 72% of new plantations expanded into forested areas. In a focus area in the Ucayali region, we assessed deforestation for high- and smallholder low-yield oil palm plantati…

  • Saving Slash‐and‐Burn to Save Biodiversity

    Open AccessChristine Padoch, Miguel Pinedo-Vasquez et al.ARTICLEBiotropica2010

    Several prominent articles have recently revived the debate on how to advance and reconcile two pressing global issues: conservation of biodiversity, and food production for an increasing human population. These discussions contrast a ‘land‐sparing/intensive agriculture’ strategy with a ‘biodiversity‐friendly’ agriculture approach. We propose that swidden or shifting cultivation should be an important component of the latter approach in the tropi…

  • Who Counts? Demography of Swidden Cultivators in Southeast Asia

    Open AccessOle Mertz, Stephen J Leisz et al.ARTICLEHuman Ecology2009Cited by: 32References: 32

    Swidden cultivators are often found as a distinct category of farmers in the literature, but rarely appear in population censuses or other national and regional classifications. This has led to a worldwide confusion on how many people are dependent on this form of agriculture. The most often cited number of 200-300 million dates back to the early 1970s, but the source is obscure. We assess available, published data from nine countries in Southeas…

  • The Demise of Swidden in Southeast Asia? Local Realities and Regional Ambiguities

    Christine Padoch, Kevin Coffey et al.ARTICLEGeografisk Tidsskrift-Danish…2007Cited by: 43References: 38

    Swidden farmers throughout Southeast Asia are rapidly abandoning traditional land use practices. While these changes have been quantified in numerous local areas, no reliable region-wide data have been produced. In this article we discuss three linked issues that account for at least some of this knowledge gap. First, swidden is a diverse, complex, and dynamic land use that data gatherers find difficult to see, define and measure, and therefore o…
