abstract: This study analyzes the socio-economic factors of agricultural land clearings in the south-Sudan zone of Burkina Faso using an econometric modeling based on the theory of land rent. Data were collected through household surveys on a sample of 538 households bordering the forests of Boulon and Koflandé in 2008. The study shows that land clearings is increasing in the study area. These clearings are associated with the decrease of farm net income per hectare, the grow of cotton and sorghum, the marital and the poverty status of the head of the household. Findings suggest that they have to promote the agricultural intensification as option to reduce land clearings in the Western region of Burkina Faso.
