• Farmers' behavior and their socio-economic conditions were studied focusing on the agricultural land use patterns and production, as well as their basic needs. An interviewing survey of farmers living in some selected forest village projects was conducted using participatory rural appraisal tools and techniques. Findings showed that field crops was found to be the major agricultural land use in all sizes of landholding, especially in the North and Northeast. On the other hand, most of the farmers were more likely to grow field crops at first thought, regardless of the size of landholding. Unlikely, paddy rice (followed by field crops) was the major agricultural land use in the Central region, whereas rubber plantation was the major one in the South. The difference in agricultural land use by regions can be attributed to the geographical, socio-economic, and environmental characteristics of each region. The species grown in degraded forests by the farmers were not much different between the North and the Northeast regions, except more fruit trees were planted in the North. Apart from corn and cassava, cotton and sugarcane were found to be the main cash crops in the Central region, and some fast growing tree species like Eucalyptus sp. could be generally planted in many areas. In the South, rambutan, coconut and durian were the most popular fruit trees of the region usually grown in areas of small landholding sizes. Regarding the basic needs of farmers, the most wanted ones were income; followed by land and water respectively. However, the three important basic needs mentioned here were together at all times when farmers' need was assessed.
