(elastic demand), but they are also the ones with the greatest potential for
increased deforestation.
So is agroforestry likely to reduce deforestation? After criticizing those who
gave an unconditional “Yes” to this question, we will avoid going to the other
extreme by saying “No.” Rather, we argue that it depends on the particular
case, and our aim has been to point to a number of factors that determine net
effects on deforestation.
