This report presents a practical methodology for the assessment of the economic impact of soil erosion, illustrates the methodology with results from recently completed case studies and proposes a framework for incorporating this methodology for upland resource policy and management programs.

This paper focuses on issues surrounding the management of Philippine commercial forests as it deals with forest destruction and renewal problems. Likewise, the economics of commercial forest management for both natural forests and tree plantations is highlighted. Policy implications are...

This paper explores three aspects of sustainability in upland and coastal resources: the depreciation of natural capital upon which upland farmers and artisanal fishermen depend, the factors affecting the economic sustainability of resource extraction from forests, upland soils and fishery...

This article documents the following objective: the processes through which pilot agro-forestation development projects (AFDPs) implementors seek to achieve their objective, the mechanisms through which AFDPs may be expected to produce an impact on the areas of concern and the interrelationships...

This article is prepared for the Upland Policy Conference on March 14, 1988. It analyzes the private perspective of upland resource management mechanisms by drawing from the salient findings of studies on commercial forestry, reforestation and communal tree farming conducted under PIDS/IDRC...

This paper summarizes a sampling of planning tools to provide ideas on how multiple objectives for watershed management may be tackled. It also explores the mechanisms for allocation with due emphasis on avenues for resolving conflicts. Future directions for subsequent work are suggested.
