Agriculture and deforestation in the tropics: A critical theoretical and empirical review

Article Abstract:

An empirical review primarily from South America and Africa that agriculture is the dominant factor in forest loss in the tropics given the underpinning theoretical relationship between forestry and agriculture is indicated. It is suggested that the policymakers should identify technology strategies that bring about a win-win situation, which will help save the tropical forests from complete depletion together with its very important ecological and other functions.
