This study uses the social relations framework to explore gender norms and relations surrounding banana production and banana bunchy top disease (BBTD) containment in six pilot communities in Cameroon and Nigeria. The objective of the study is to understand how gender norms and relations shape an...

Farmers continue to grow traditional crop varieties, along with now-creolized varieties released decades ago. The absence of modern varieties is due to the failure of conventional plant breeding to meet production/cultural needs, difficult access to new varieties, and inadequate safety-nets for t...

In this chapter, we develop new indicators and statistical tests to characterize patterns of crop diversity at local scales to better understand interactions between ecological and socio-cultural functions of agroecosystems. Farms, where a large number of crops (species or landraces) is grown, ar...

Cameroon and Indonesia are two countries that have received much attention in the literature on tropical deforestation. Both have also experienced devastating economic crises and subsequent macroeconomic adjustment policies. Through a contrast of the two countries' experiences, this chapter explo...

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...
