Miombo woodlands in the wider context : macro-economic and inter sectoral influences
1996
Misana, S. | Mung'ong'o, C. | EMukamuri, B.
The relationship between what happens at the local level and the wider economy of miombo woodlands was explored. As change in miombo use and coverage is an important issue, it is necessary to analyse the patterns of social and economic changes occuring in the region and to relate these changes to environmental variables. It gave hypothesis that macroeconomic factors and national policies in sectors other than forestry (e.g. interest rates, agricultural pricing policies , revenue systems, legislation, structural adjusment) have an impact, at local level, on the use and management of miombo woodland, which in turn effect its distribution, structure and functioning.The macro economic framework must not be seen only in the context of national policies; the globalisation of economies and international pressures on developing countries must also be considered.
