- W9856477 abstract "The challenge of producing enough food is increasingly affecting almost alldeveloping countries as they prioritise support for industry ahead of agriculture.However, in recent decades, many countries, including Malaysia, have realisedthe need for food security and self-sufficiency and have embarked on anintensive agricultural programme. Consequently, many tropical highlandssuitable for crops are suffering environmental damage through intensive farmingwith little or no enforcement and control. The Cameron Highlands of Malaysia isan example whereby large tracts of pristine montane forests have been clearedfor intensive farming, both for food crops and flowers. This paper examines howfarmers, with little government help, interact with environment, changingmarkets, infrastructure development, indigenous peoples, tourism, and otherfactors. The paper is based on detailed observation and interviews with farmers,grower associations, government officers and indigenous people to gatherinformation related to farming, land degradation, threats to production andpossible sustainable farming options. The results show that Cameron Highlandsfarmers, despite being left alone facing great challenges, are adapting well andare often flourishing. Many have intensified production, and some are movingtoward less environmentally-damaging sustainable strategies. Pressure fromNGOs and civil society with stricter government regulation has led to bettercontrol of land clearance and degradation, but this has forced farmers to moveto neighbouring states. Organic farming is taking off though only a smallpercentage of growers are involved. Overall, the farmers have demonstratedgreat resilience, learnt new techniques, initiated and supported moreenvironmentally friendly farming methods, and adapted well to environmentaland socio-economic change with little or no outside help" @default.
