These areas of growth have led to the deforestation of tropical forests, a process that contributes negatively to climate change, and a decline in the provision of environmental services and biodiversity. This article seeks to propose and simulate a theoretical model of optimal control at the household level. This model is used to explain the dynamics of forest loss by expansion of the agricultural frontier. Under these conditions, based on tradable permanent crops, farmers decide whether to install new areas for cultivation or manage existing ones in a context of increasing transportation costs. We simulate a theoretical model using data on permanent crops in the high forest of Peru. The results of the model establish that there is a limit to the expansion of the agricultural frontier of the rainforest due to transportation costs. This limit can be surpassed in the context of the free movement of labor whenever these costs cause a decrease and\/or increase in the price of land cultivation. Finally, the main policy recommendations of this study emphasize the subordination of transport policy to agroforestry and the conservation of forest ecosystems policies. Agroforestry design forest policies should consider the differential impact of the construction of highways and rural roads on the loss of tree cover as well as on sustainable food production, given that deforestation is not accelerated by the mere existence of roads but by the incentives that are presented to settlers to guide their efforts toward clearing new forest areas.\u00a0El crecimiento de las \u00e1reas urbanas adyacentes a las zonas forestales, adem\u00e1s del crecimiento del comercio internacional, ha acelerado la demanda de alimentos y por lo tanto la deforestaci\u00f3n de los bosques tropicales, un proceso que contribuye negativamente al cambio clim\u00e1tico, a la disminuci\u00f3n de la provisi\u00f3n de los servicios ambientales y a la biodiversidad. Este art\u00edculo tiene como objetivo proponer y simular un modelo te\u00f3rico de control \u00f3ptimo a nivel de hogares para explicar la din\u00e1mica de la p\u00e9rdida de bosques por la expansi\u00f3n de la frontera agr\u00edcola que hace que un agricultor, en base a cultivos permanentes transables, quien decide en cada momento si expander a nuevas \u00e1reas para el cultivo o si maneja las ya existentes en un contexto de aumento de los costos de transporte. Simulamos el modelo te\u00f3rico a partir de datos sobre los cultivos permanentes en la selva alta del Per\u00fa. Los resultados del modelo establecen que hay un l\u00edmite a la expansi\u00f3n de la frontera agr\u00edcola en la selva dado por los costos de transporte. Este l\u00edmite puede ser superado en un contexto de libre disposici\u00f3n de mano de obra cada vez que estos costos disminuyen y\/o aumentan el precio pagado para el cultivo de la tierra. Por \u00faltimo, las principales recomendaciones de este trabajo destacan la subordinaci\u00f3n de la pol\u00edtica de transportes a la agroforester\u00eda y a la conservaci\u00f3n de las pol\u00edticas de los ecosistemas forestales. Pol\u00edticas forestales de dise\u00f1o agroforestales deben considerar el impacto diferencial de la construcci\u00f3n de carreteras y caminos rurales por la p\u00e9rdida de la cobertura forestal, y tambi\u00e9n en la producci\u00f3n sostenible de alimentos, teniendo en cuenta que la deforestaci\u00f3n no es acelerada por la mera existencia de caminos, sino por los incentivos presentados a los colonos para orientar sus esfuerzos hacia la limpieza de nuevas \u00e1reas forestales.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","format":"standard","class_list":["post-611987","tnc_col_611521_item","type-tnc_col_611521_item","status-publish","format-standard","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Portal de Revistas<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/revistas.uc.cl\/en\/international-journal-of-agriculture-and-natural-resources\/transportation-costs-agricultural-expansion-and-tropical-deforestation-theory-and-evidence-from-peru\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Transportation costs, agricultural expansion and tropical deforestation: Theory and evidence from Peru - Portal de Revistas\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The growth of urban areas adjacent to forest areas, as well as international trade growth, has accelerated the demand for food.
