Rural transformation and land use change in Northern Thailand
Northern Thailand is undergoing rapid changes in rural areas where new opportunities linked to national and international market demand have arisen for farmers, both on-farm through cash crop demands and off-farm through industrialisation. Using socio-economic data and multilevel regression, we show...
