Abstract / Content summary	This volume reports the results of studies carried out in the Southern half of the Simbu Province of Papua New Guinea (Fig. 1.0 by the Simbu Land Use Project (SLUP) between 1980 and 1982. SLUP was established with the major aim of providing a primary database leading to the formulation of practical recommendations for maintaining and improving subsistence agriculture and nutrition within Simbu. Certain features of North Simbu, in particular the mountainous terrain, high population density, and apparent signs of agronomic stress, were significant determinants resulting in the formation of SLUP. SLUP research in Simbu commenced in August l979 with two sections: Land Use (P. Wohlt) and Soil Survey (G. Humphreys). During the first half of 1980 two other specialist sections were formed: Nutrition (P.W.J. Harvey) and Agronomy ( S. Goodbody). The South' Simbu Section was added later in the year in recognition both of the markedly different environmental and demographic characteristics of the South, an,d of ·the need for the other Sections to primarily concentrate. on the 95 percent of the provincial population resident in the North. Project documents originally defined the objectives of the South Simbu Section in' very broad terms.
