在孟加拉国东部的高地仍然普遍存在的轮垦，是森林丧失的主要原因，也是土地退化的主要原因。本文介绍了轮垦的原因和后果及其潜在的土地利用替代方案。提出的分析主要是定性的补充定量分析的原因，森林损失的逻辑回归。研究结果表明，传统的土地做法因贫困而加剧，再加上缺乏技术知识，是不可持续的轮垦继续存在的主要原因。人口压力、耕地不足、教育水平低、政策规划和执行没有当地参与，这些都是影响农民决定继续轮垦的因素。通过农林业进行集约土地管理是一个有希望的替代办法，可以可持续地管理剩余的森林资源。如果得到采用，这种制度可能会带来良好的经济回报，并可能大大减少农村贫困。
Shifting cultivation, which is still prevalent in the uplands of eastern Bangladesh, contributes significantly to forest loss and is the main cause of land degradation. This paper presents the causes and consequences of shifting cultivation and its potential land use alternatives. The analysis presented is primarily qualitative with a supplementary quantitative analysis of the causes of forest loss by logistic regression. The results of the study show that traditional land practices, exacerbated by poverty and associated with a lack of technical knowledge is the main cause for the continuation of unsustainable shifting cultivation. Population pressure, inadequate land for cultivation, low education levels, policy planning and implementation without local participation are all factors that influence farmers’ decision to continue shifting cultivation. Intensive land management through agroforestry is a promising alternative that can sustainably manage the remaining forest resources. If adopted, such systems potentially provide good economic returns, and may significantly reduce rural poverty.
