✦ Synopsis

The steeplands worked by Malaysian farmers are being severely degraded by loss of fertility, landsliding and soil erosion. Although the need to conserve and carefully manage agricultural land is clearly stated in government policies, the actual outcomes of policy implementation are often not eective, real government action appearing to be concentrated on alleviating urban environmental problems rather than on sustainable use of rural land. Detailed investigations in villages in western Sabah, Malaysia Borneo, found that lack of commitment to ensure the long-term sustainability of the land farmed by the rural poor was re¯ected in the types of training programme of the agricultural extension service ®eld workers, and the advice and practices encouraged by the government.
