We combined interview surveys with local communities and remote sensing analysis to understand an ongoing transition from traditional shifting cultivation (i.e., slash-and-burn agriculture) to cash crop farming in southern Myanmar. Our study area was focused around four villages in Bokpyin Township of Myanmar's Tanintharyi Region. Full details of this study can be found in the following publication:
