| Abstract | Shifting cultivation for subsistence food production is seldom the main cause of tropical deforestation. Other forms of agricultural expansion practiced by smallholders and large landowners alike tend to be much more important. But the most significant determinant of all is how these land uses interact with and are affected by macroeconomic forces, access to markets and a host of other policy and institutional factors. |
