Selection processes of (changes in) land use and cropping patterns: Multiple cropping

Abstract

Selection processes of (changes in) land use and cropping patterns could be discussed under socio-economy, climate variability and change, technological innovations and land degradation (ecologically). Socio-economic factors will include changes in population growth as a result of migration, expansion into new and uncropped lands or unused lands. Farmers would grow a certain type of crop for several reasons. © 2010 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
