Inspired by our initial findings during our research on livelihood strategies in Nong Mai Daeng, we decided to focus on three major changes which had occurred in land use and hence our objectives became:
To investigate what has generated:
- A decrease in maize cultivation in favour of cassava production,
- an increase in cattle feeding,
- and a shift in the interest in organic farming.
To further analyse how these changes have affected the livelihoods of the villagers, a discussion about the role and importance of the Village Fund was pursued.
