Towards natural resource management paradigm for international agriculture: example of agroforestry research
2000
Izac, A.M.N. | Sanchez, P.A.
This paper presents and discusses the dimensions of the natural resources management paradigm with special reference to agroforestry research. The first part discusses the concepts of natural capital and ecosystem hierarchies - these form the backbone of the theoretical framework of the proposed agenda of NRM. In the second part the principle components of this agenda are discussed and illustrated using examples from agroforestry research. The third and last section highlights the main differences between integrated NRM paradigm and the more traditional genetic paradigm. The dimesions of this agenda which are still unresolved and require methodological breakthroughs to be made are also identified.
