SynopsisThis book has been developed from a workshop on Technological change in agriculture and tropical deforestation organized by the Center for International Forestry Research and held in Costa Rica in March, 1999. It explores how intensification of agriculture affects tropical deforestation using case studies from different geographical regions, using different agricultural products and technologies and in differing demographic situations and market conditions. Guidance is also given on future agricultural research and extension efforts., This book has been developed from Technological change in agriculture and tropical deforestation workshop.
