Abstract

Farm forest, especially Eucalyptus farm forest, is rapidly expanding in Thailand. This research analyzes socio-economic factors that affect tree planting in farmland by comparing planter with nonplanter, through a field survey conducted in Hua Na Kham Village, Mahasarakham Province. The shortage of agricultural labor in rural areas, both family labor and employment, was found to be one of the crucial factors affecting tree planting. Thus, the labor shortage has changed the more labor extensive land use system, including farm forestry. We conclude that rapid agricultural and land use reformation is likely to continue for some time in northeastern Thailand.
