[edit] Tokugawa Period issues & solutions

I'm curious if there should be a section or some notes on the environmental issues from the Tokugawa / Edo Period, which included deforestation and which were "solved" via a number of factors. I know the author Jared Diamond devotes some time in his Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed to this topic, so there's plenty of primary source material available (both in his book and its many cited sources), but am not sure if it would be a good addition to this particular article or not.
