Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, FAO has carried out extensive assessments of the forest tenure situation in the four regions of Africa, Southeast Asia, Latin America and Central Asia, including its impact on sustainable forest management and poverty reduction. The experiences and lessons learned from these assessments, complemented by numerous studies carried out by other organizations, provide a rich information base on different tenure systems and on the successes and challenges of tenure reform processes.

Download or read book Sustainable Agriculture in Central America written by Jan P. de Groot and published by Springer. This book was released on 1997-07-14 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Agricultural development in Central America is based on extensive growth, supported by macroeconomic policies that marginalize small peasants. Deforestation, erosion and resource depletion are particularly severe. This book offers a comprehensive review of the perspectives for state policies and local action to enhance sustainable agriculture. Macroeconomic conditions and institutional arrangements for the establishment of sustainable production systems in different eco-regional settings (hillsides, humid tropics, frontier areas) are discussed, as well as policy instruments to improve property rights, management rules and financial mechanisms to enhance sustainable resource use.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on ethnographic and archival research, this book explores how the indigenous Lenca community of La Campa, Honduras, has conserved and transformed their communal forests through the experiences of colonialism, opposition to state-controlled logging, and the recent adoption of export-oriented coffee production. The book merges political ecology, collective-action theories, and institutional analysis to study how the people and forests have changed through various transitions.

Download or read book Natural Resource Management in the Hillsides of Honduras written by Bruno Barbier and published by Intl Food Policy Res Inst. This book was released on 2001-01-01 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Farmers who live in fragile tropical hillsides often operate under severe resource constraints and face difficult tradeoffs when confronted with changes in production conditions. Using a bioeconomic linear programming model, this study simulates the effects of population, market, and technological changes on farmers' income and on their management of the natural resource in a hillside area of Central Honduras. The results show that economic growth and agricultural intensification are not necessarily adverse for fragile environments. In fact, farmer incomes would be much lower and degradation much higher if intensive agriculture had not been adopted. Such a result, however, must be framed within a complex set of conditioning factors, among which agroecology plays a fundamental role. Although the economic advantages of horticultural production are clear in the area studied, this strategy is not suited for all contexts. This report offers a series of policy recommendations that implicitly recognize such limitations, thereby helping to direct resources where they will have their greatest impact.

Download or read book Assessment of Land Use Effect on Climate Change Sensitivity on the Northern Coastal Zone of Honduras written by Arie Sanders and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this paper we examine the effect of land use and land use change on climate change sensitivity on the north coast of Honduras. To reach this objective, we ran simulations to analyze the spatial and temporal variations on sensitivity derived from land use differences and their implications on the use of land use policy as a tool for climate change adaptation in integrated coastal zone management. We developed two scenarios (trend and normative scenarios) for different spatial development trends for the 2010–2050 period. The biggest change in the trend scenario, current situation, would be a decrease in pasture (19.4%) and forestry (8.1%) as result from an increase in palm oil plantations. There would be more fragmentation and the region will become more vulnerable to climate change. In the case of the normative scenario we expect a 50.2% decrease in extensive livestock activities and an 18.3% increase of the broadleaved forest area, making the region less vulnerable to climate change. The national and local governments have a decisive role in assuring the implementation of their land use policies (normative scenario) to protect the region against climate change impact.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Tropical forest conservation is attracting widespread public interest and helping to shape the ways in which environmental scientists and other groups approach global environmental issues. Schelhas and Pfeffer show that globally driven forest conservation efforts have had different results in different places, ranging from violent protest to the discovery of common ground between conservation programs and the various interests of local peoples. The authors examine the connections among local values, material needs, and environmental management regimes. Saving Forests, Protecting People? explores that difficult terrain where culture, the environment, and social policies meet."--BOOK JACKET.
