As such, we will challenge the concept of a fallow as being temporarily unused land, a common thought of many policymakers and scientists. Case studies from farming communities throughout Southeast Asia will show that fallows are in fact carefully managed by farmers. This is done in order to achieve direct economic benefits through producing economic valuable products and/or biological (indirect economic) benefits through restoring soil fertility for food cropping.</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
