The author points out some of the related socio-economic or institutional issues that must be addressed before improved technological innovations have a ch ance of success. An article by Vasilios P. Papanastasis entitled "Integrating goats into Mediterranean forests" illustrates the potential for this integrated approach in sylvipastoral systems in the Mediterranean region. A third article by Janet Persson entitled "Trees, plants and a rural community in the southern Sudan" documents the range of items from natural vegetation upon which local residents depend in their daily lives.
