Agroecological or conventional farming? Assessing the socioeconomic and environmental impacts of two agricultural systems in the agroforestry parklands of Burkina Faso
Enhancing food production is a requirement for food security, particularly in a developing context. Innovation and techniques to lower input cost is one aspect that is needed to make the systems more resilient. Here we do a comparative costs and benefits analysis between agroecological and conventional farming practices in agroforestry parklands in two communes in Burkina Faso. Social and environmental concerns are included to highlight the requi…

Do national strategies under the UN biodiversity and climate conventions address agricultural commodity consumption as deforestation driver
Forest conversion in the tropics is increasingly driven by global demand for agricultural forest-risk commodities such as soy, beef, palm oil and timber. In order to be effective, future forest conservation policies should include measures targeting both producers (the supply side) and consumers (the demand side) to address commodity-driven deforestation. Whereas the UN Conventions on Biodiversity (CBD) and Climate Change (UNFCCC) do not make ref…

Accounting methods for international land-related leakage and distant deforestation drivers

Methods for the quantification of GHG emissions at the landscape level for developing countries in smallholder contexts
Landscape scale quantification enables farmers to pool resources and expertise. However, the problem remains of how to quantify these gains. This article considers current greenhouse gas (GHG) quantification methods that can be used in a landscape scale analysis in terms of relevance to areas dominated by smallholders in developing countries. In landscape scale carbon accounting frameworks, measurements are an essential element. Sampling strategi…

Impact of Plantations on Forest Use and Forest Status in Orissa, India
In Orissa 100 thousand ha of village plantations were established from 1985 to 1992 as an aid project to support the subsistence needs of rural poor and to relieve heavy pressure on the natural forests. The aim of this paper is to examine the welfare and environmental effects of these village plantations. To do this, extensive data collection was needed which included both household utilization of different sources of biomass as well as remote-se…

Local Forest Protection, Gender and Caste-Dhani Hill, Orissa, India
Local forest protection, gender and caste—dhani hill, orissa, india
A questionnaire survey covering 35% of all households in five villages was conducted in a local forest protection group in Orissa, India. The aim was to study dependency, involvement and attitude towards forest protection based on gender and caste. A conceptual model indicating differences between the groups was used as a base. Women experienced more problems of restrictions caused by the protection and more threats associated with the forest tha…
