Farmers in the Forest, while using examples chiefly from northern Thailand, is concerned with complex problems found in all tropical countries. In these areas rapid population growth, increasing demands for food, and burgeoning international markets for forest products and other raw materials are associated with active competition for land and natural resources in upland areas. This book brings together studies by administrators, agronomists, anthropologists, forest ecologists, geographers and jurists, who describe a variety of swidden systems and their effect on soil, forest, society, and economy. They point to conflicts between traditional farming systems and modern legal and administrative constraints now being imposed, and they describe special and technological conditions that contribute to a marginal, stagnant upland economy, increasing socio-economic disparities with the lowlands, and the serious ecological consequences of these conditions. Several possible solutions are suggested to solve these problems.

Shifting cultivation supports around 200 million people in the Asia-Pacific region alone. It is often regarded as a primitive and inefficient form of agriculture that destroys forests, causes soil erosion and robs lowland areas of water. These misconceptions and their policy implications need to be challenged. Swidden farming could support carbon sequestration and conservation of land, biodiversity and cultural heritage. This comprehensive analysis of past and present policy highlights successes and failures and emphasizes the importance of getting it right for the future. This book is enhanced with supplementary resources. The addendum chapters can be found at: www.cabi.org/openresources/91797

Gegenstand der Arbeit ist die Vegetation, die sich unter dem Einflu� des Schwendbaus (Swidden farming, Shifting Cultivation) der Bergv�lker im Hochland von Nord-Thailand entwickelt. Ziel der Studie ist die Untersuchung der Artenzusammensetzung, Struktur, Dynamik und Nutzung der Vegetation, vor allem der Sekund�rw�lder, auf Brachfl�chen von ethnischen Gruppen, die unterschiedliche Formen des Schwendbaus betreiben. Dazu wurden drei D�rfer als Fallstudien bearbeitet, die jeweils von Angeh�rigen der ethnischen Gruppen der Lawa, der Karen und der Akha bewohnt werden und sich in einer H�henlage um 1000 m im Bereich der unteren Montanwaldstufe befinden. Obwohl deutliche Unterschiede festgestellt werden konnten, erwiesen sich die meisten Sekund�rw�lder als �kologisch wie auch �konomisch wertvoll. �Die Synthese aus natur- und sozialwissenschaftlichen Fragestellungen ist in der auf zweij�hriger Feldforschung basierenden Studie gut gelungen. Die Arbeit leistet einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Diskussion um den Einflu� von Landnutzungssystemen auf die Vegetationsentwicklung tropischer Sekund�rw�lder.�Erdkunde "� a useful study [�] This book will be of interest to students of swidden agriculture as well as to those interested in tropical botany, biodiversity conservation, and land use/land-cover change. In the end, the book reinforces a new paradigm in the management of tropical biodiversirty that extends conservation to human-impacted lands." Geographical Journal .

Shifting cultivation is one of the oldest forms of subsistence agriculture and is still practised by millions of poor people in the tropics. Typically it involves clearing land (often forest) for the growing of crops for a few years, and then moving on to new sites, leaving the earlier ground fallow to regain its soil fertility. This book brings together the best of science and farmer experimentation, vividly illustrating the enormous diversity of shifting cultivation systems as well as the power of human ingenuity. Some critics have tended to disparage shifting cultivation (sometimes called 'swidden cultivation' or 'slash-and-burn agriculture') as unsustainable due to its supposed role in deforestation and land degradation. However, the book shows that such indigenous practices, as they have evolved over time, can be highly adaptive to land and ecology. In contrast, 'scientific' agricultural solutions imposed from outside can be far more damaging to the environment and local communities. The book focuses on successful agricultural strategies of upland farmers, particularly in south and south-east Asia, and presents over 50 contributions by scholars from around the world and from various disciplines, including agricultural economics, ecology and anthropology. It is a sequel to the much praised "Voices from the Forest: Integrating Indigenous Knowledge into Sustainable Upland Farming" (RFF Press, 2007), but all chapters are completely new and there is a greater emphasis on the contemporary challenges of climate change and biodiversity conservation.
