This thesis analyses the effects of natural resource degradation on production and well-being of rural households in Uganda. In the face of growing concerns about the environment, policy makers in Uganda are finding themselves increasingly pressured to choose between environmental degradation in the long run and the ever-growing needs of the poor populations in the short run. The effects of environmental degradation, such as loss of woody biomass, on household welfare may have been understated and less recognized. Some economists point to the development of alternative (substitute) fuels and new technology, use of fertilizers and controlled population growth as the solutions to rural environmental deterioration and subsequent improvement of rural household welfare. 2014-07-31T12:23:11Z 2014-07-31T12:23:11Z 2005 Doctoral Thesis Doctoral PhD http://hdl.handle.net/11427/5718 eng application/pdf School of Economics Faculty of Commerce University of Cape Town |
