1 Bentley, W. R. 1984. Forestry research to serve the rural poor: Efficiency and distributional criteria in design of tree crop systems. New Delhi, India: Ford Foundation. 27p. (Ford Foundation discussion paper no. 13)
(Location: IWMI-HQ Call no: 634.9 G635 BEN Record No: H0232)
As forestry research groups are developed in tropical nations, there are several distributional arguments for research personnel to view the rural poor as a primary client group for forestry research results. This paper develops the arguments six topics: (1) the usefulness of production functions in organizing information produced by applied research; (2) timber scarcity and the causes of real stumpage price increases; (3) design-oriented research to create the forests of the future; (4) distribution of net benefits between this and future generations and between rich and poor people today; (5) synthesis of efficiency and distributional forces in context of timber scarcity; and (6) criteria suggested by these lines of reasoning might guide the design of future forests.

Use of irrigation in forest plantations in many arid and semi-arid areas since the 1860s has demonstrated in some cases a potential for high wood yields and thus for countering the depletion of meagre natural wood resources, with related environmental degradation, that stems from population increases. This synthesis is aimed at enhancing irrigated forestry through an examination of past experience, the range of inputs required, and the benefits of integrating tree plantations with irrigated agriculture. It reviews the potential for irrigated forest plantations and provides a checklist of economic, sociological, and technical criteria needed to guide decisions as to the feasibility of such developments. Actions to be covered in the planning, implementation, and operational phases of irrigated forest plantations are indicated as are illustrative production levels and research needs. The closing chapters review approaches in economic analysis, management and planning.
