This paper compares four different modelling approaches to agricultural expansion and deforestation, and explores the implications of assumptions about the household objectives, the labour market, and the property rights regime. A major distinction is made between population and market based expl...

Autor: Angelsen, A.

This paper explores possible strategic interactions between the state and local community in games of tropical forest land appropriation. Three typical cases are discussed, corresponding to a development over time of increased resource competition and market integration. The local response to mor...

Common understanding of the causes of land-use and land-cover change is dominated by simplifications which, in turn, underlie many environment-development policies. This article tracks some of the major myths on driving forces of land-cover change and proposes alternative pathways of change that ...


Lambin, E.F.Turner, B.L.Geist, H.J.Agbola, S.J.Angelsen, A.Bruce, J.W.Coomes, O.T.Dirzo, R.Fischer, G.Folke, C.[The causes of land-use and land-cover change: moving beyond the myths]The causes of land-use and land-cover change: moving beyond the myths

A widespread belief among development and forest researchers and practitioners holds that technological progress in tropical agriculture is good for forest conservation. Higher yield enables farmers to produce the same amount of food on less agricultural land. The alternative view suggests that p...

This paper examines the causes of agricultural land expansion and deforetstion in Tanzania. In the theoretical section, two different -- and partly contradicting -- sets of hypotheses are outlined. These are based on a subsistence approach, emphasising the food or income requirements of farm hous...


Angelsen, A.Shitindi, E.F.K.Aarrestad, Johnstein[Why do farmers expand their land into forests?: theories and evidence form Tanzania]Why do farmers expand their land into forests?: theories and evidence form Tanzania

This chapter attempts to systematically examine some of the main analytical arguments and empirical evidence regarding the impact of technological progress in agriculture on deforestation. Three factors have been highlighted that are important in determining deforestation outcomes: (1) the type o...

This chapter summarises the key insights from the case studies included in the book. First, it discusses the technology-deforestation link in six different types of cases: developed countries, commodity booms, shifting cultivation, permanent upland (rainfed) agriculture, irrigated (lowland) agric...
