Tiivistelmä:This study explores the value of fallow ecosystem services in shifting cultivation. Using farm-level survey data from the Brazilian Amazon, a production function is estimated to assess the value of forest fallow and to test whether it provides local externalities to agricultural production. Among others, the estimated parameters indicate that fallow notably contributes to productivity both on farm and downstream. The results suggest that farming communities possibly have some self-interest in preserving forest cover locally.
