This aspect of poverty is difficult to quantify as yet, but it is an important element in the debate on the rural poor, deforestation and natural resource management. This lecture note introduces methods to collect and appraise farmers’ ecological knowledge in a formal manner and analyze the way this knowledge and value system complements, methods to get the views of local communities on the options they have and the constraints they face more explicitly represented, and  ways to get the farmer’s ‘voice’ heard in dialogues with local and national policymakers</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
