Impact of a growing population in agricultural resource management: Exploring the global situation with a micro-level example

A decade ago, David Pimentel and his associates (1998) reported to us that that at least ten million hectare of arable land is now being eroded and also abandoned throughout the world every year and consequently to compensate such loss, a huge amount of replacement is claimed from forest and other s...

To exemplify such a trend of agricultural land use, the paper incorporated a detailed example from an ethnographic case study on indigenous land-use practices and the experiences associated with modern cultivation for adapting to an adverse situation caused by the severe impact of a growing population in the agricultural sector in rural Bangladesh.
