	UNODC - Bulletin on Narcotics - 1992 Issue 2 - 004
		During the first phase of highland development, income from agriculture was reduced for a time because of necessary changes in agricultural techniques and the introduction of a crop substitution programme.
		At present, the increase in population and limited farming areas in the lowlands are major causes of exploitation in the highlands.
		Most highland communities have caused damage to natural resources in various ways, including forest destruction, and their methods of cultivation, instead of conserving the soil and water, induce soil erosion and increase sedimentary deposits in rivers and reservoirs.

		The most northern is Pulteney, which produces a delicious, fragrant, dry whisky, long referred to as 'the Manzanilla of the north'.

		Nowadays swidden farming resembles that of the northern Thais and is characterised as degraded (seetisarn 1996,17).
