It describes this complex agroecosystem in terms of its multiple individual components, structure, functioning, and sustainability; social and economic dimensions; adaptation to on-going demographic, economic, environmental, and policy changes; and wider use elsewhere in Vietnam's northern mountains.It will be of interest to Southeast Asian area studies specialists, agricultural ecologists, ethnologists, and upland development policymakers.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: AUItem Height: 235mmItem Length: 152mmContributor: Nguyen Thanh Lam (Edited by), A.
