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.
