      abstract = {Following the example of Tiffen et al. on Machakos, Kenya,  new macro-based evidence was collected in Machakos, the  neighbouring Kitui district and in Benin, Cameroon and the  Philippines, to assess the factors à la Boserup, inducing  transitions towards sustainable land management, such as  terracing, stone bands etc. We find that relative scarcity  of land can be seen to induce technical changes, in the  sense of Hayami & Ruttan, that correspond to the new  
relative scarcity, making higher man-land ratios the  optimal choice.},
