Economic competition for land use between social forestry and agriculture
Employment ; Farming;Agriculture ; Forestry ; Land use ; Rural economy
The analyses established that the lower competitive position of farm forestry can be explained by lack of liquidity through long investment periods and large time intervals between wood harvests. The analyses also established that agriculture
provides more continuous employment opportunities, which is a disadvantage for social forestry in countries where providing employment opportunities is a development goal. - (l'A.).

Forestry development relies overwhelmingly on natural resources which are not particularly impressive in China when compared with world average. Their location in the less developed and less accessible regions is a further disadvantage. The problems
of exploiting these resources are discussed. Various target figures for further developing forestry to be attained by 2000 AD are examined. The means to achieve them are afforestation, controlled renewal, conservation and incentive schemes. (TNC).
The role of forestry in the amelioration of drought in Nigeria
Agriculture and forestry are interdependant. The planting of trees in shelter belts and plantations can ameliorate the climate by reducing the effect of dessicating winds, so improving the soil and crop yields. (EMS).

Unsustainable forestry causes forest fires - a case study from Galicia (North-West Spain)
Development ; Environmental management ; Eucalyptus ; Forest ; Forest fire ; Forestry ; Galicia ; Spain
Galicia's forestry holds a special position within Spain due to the relatively great cover of woodlands and an increasing concentration on fast-growing tree species, i.e. eucalyptus trees. Its earning capacity is rather low because of a lack
of industrial potential. Development funds proferred by the EU and altered by national and regional legislatures do not improve the disadvantageous structure of Galician forestry nor its economically and ecologically poor situation. The high incidence of forest
fires is a result of a misguided forestry policy and structural problems. The especially-formed fire brigades are only of short-term assistance. In future, long-term support can be expected via EU-funded educational campaigns and structural reforms
Under consultation arrangements, the Forestry Commission seeks the views of interested statutory bodies before proceeding with afforestation on its own account, or before agreeing to grant-aid private proposals. The theoretical basis of partial
