Tropical forestry in relation to agriculture.

Abstract

The importance of close co-operation between forestry, agricultural and other services, in promoting the general welfare of a country, was stressed, particularly in regard to the control of shifting cultivation with its attendant destruction of forests and all the evils that it entails. Such co-operation is already effective or is developing in some countries, e.g., the Gold Coast, Mauritius and Nyasaland.
