description Meeting food and livelihood security needs in developing countries will require the conservation and enhancement of natural resources that contribute to agricultural production. Chief among the resources to be sustainably managed are soils and forests.

Finally, what can be done by policymakers to simultaneously reduce poverty and deforestation rates?
