INCREASED MARKET AND PROFIT ORIENTATION, IMPACT OF GLOBALIZATION
CONVERSION OF LAND USE FROM SUBSISTENCE ORIENTATION TO MARKET
ORIENTATION WITH THE CULTIVATION OF EXPORT-ORIENTED PRODUCTS
INTENSIFICATION OF AGRICULTURAL LAND USE, OFTEN WITH INCREASED

OFTEN AGRICULTURAL LAND AMALGAMATIONS BY PRIVATE LAND OWNERS,
COOPERATIVES, CORPORATIONS AND GOVERNMENTS
POTENTIALLY DETERIORATING LAND USE AT THE OUTSKIRTS OF THE
COMMERCIAL FARMS
STRENGTHENING OF COMMUNITY SUBSISTENCE AGRICULTURE WITH
REGIONAL MARKET ORIENTATION

AGRICULTURAL SYSTEMS AND TECHNIQUES BASED ON PROVEN
TRADITIONAL PRACTICES AND ON ECOLOGICALLY AND CULTURALLY
