Funded Activity Summary

Swidden Cultivation and the Agrarian Transition on the Forest Frontiers of Southeast Asia. Challenges to rural sustainability increase as swidden farmers adjust to the uneven impacts of agrarian change such as social conflict, material poverty and environmental decline. However, little is known about how swidden farmers engage with the causes and consequences of agrarian change in different political economic contexts. This research will generate a multi-scale comparative assessment (local-regional) of how swidden farmers adjust livelihoods and social relations in response to agrarian change in Laos, Philippine and Malaysian frontiers. It will offer new insights to Australian donors, international academic networks and resource practitioners on how agrarian change affects swidden farmers and local landscapes.
