Présentation
This book concentrates on forest cultivation by smallholder farmers in South-east Asia, not only because it constitutes altogether the most original and lesser known aspect of local forest management in the region, but also because, in our opinion, it represents the most promising field for the design of alternative strategies for the management of forest resources and forest lands.
