Synopsis

Cutting Down Trees is about local responses to global processes of change. This major study traces detailed changes in the agricultural system of Zambia's Northern Province over a period of 100 years. The authors assess the ecological, social, and political changes affecting the region, and relate current development initiatives to long-run interventions. Drawing on their extensive research experience, Moore and Vaughan have produced a detailed examination of the changing nature of gender relations, household production, and nutrition.
