This summary report reflects the joint effort of the CGIAR, NARS and NGOs towards the development of a global research and development strategy that will address global environmental issues as well as socioeconomic problems affecting small-scale farmers associated with tropical deforestation. As the Alternatives to Slash-and-Burn (ASB) programme progress, it is hoped that the scientists involved will continue to review and refine their research methodologies so as to maintain the coherent approach needed in this global strategy.
