Abstract

In the mountainous regions of Southeast Asia, smallholder farmers are both victims of and actors in the degradation of natural resources, as a result of their agricultural activities. Addressing sustainable development thus requires a good understanding of the agriculture-poverty-environment nexus – defined as the set of complex linkages between agriculture, poverty and the environment – and of the economic incentives that drive the natural resource use of smallholder farmers in vulnerable areas. The objective of this chapter is to improve our understanding of the extent and nature of these linkages across different settings in Southeast Asia – namely northern Vietnam and northern Thailand, and to derive policy recommendations that can contribute towards the enhancement of sustainable development in these regions. The chapter draws on empirical research conducted in northern Vietnam and northern Thailand between 2007 and 2011.
