Population, conservation, and land use change in Honduras

This paper examines land use allocation in an extensive agricultural system faced with a relative land scarcity. We frame our inquiry using Boserup’s (1965) classic work that explicitly considered the role of fallows in the process of land use intensification under conditions of population increase and land scarcity.
