Abstract |
The market rubber-based farming replaced traditional swidden farming
normally practiced in northern upland of Laos. The objectives of this research
was to investigate the impact of changing swidden based farming (SBF) to
rubber based farming (RBF) on food security and economic return in Luang
Namtha district, Luang Namtha provinces, northern Laos. The results shows
that some households (HH) shift from SBF to RBF alone but some HHs
integrated SBF and RBF (ISRBF). HHs practiced RBF alone found the lowest
food security level and
vulnerability in food security. The ISRBF exhibited greater food security level
than those of SBF and RBF alone. However, the RBF gave the highest
households income. |
