Abstract

Promotion of settled farming and conservation of the headwaters forest have been the priorities for Thai government in its efforts to preserve water resources and block soil erosion on the hills. Commercially-oriented agroforestry developed by the Japanese immigrants in the Brazilian Amazon may serve as a model for sustainable farm-income generation and the environmental conservation in the region.
