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.

An overview is presented of the management and policy problems of forests, pastures and wastelands of India. The causes of low productivity are diagnosed, and some possible courses of action examined. The potential productivity of India's uncultivated rural lands is high, and there are excellent opportunities for increasing actual productivity and having the benefits accrue to the rural poor.
