De Vereniging Innovatief Platteland (VIP) wil met innovaties en duurzame activiteiten werken aan een duurzame landbouw in het gebied rondom Venray. Werken aan biodiversiteit en duurzaam bodembeheer hoort daar nadrukkelijk bij. Door dit project is een aanzet gegeven in het gebied rondom Venray tot het verder implementeren en doorvertalen van wetenschappelijke kennis naar de praktijk. Er is in een nauwe interactie tussen wetenschap, adviseurs en andere intermediairen en ondernemers gewerkt aan duurzaam bodembeheer en beheersing van aaltjes en effecten van composten en groenbemesters.

The handbook introduces key economic and related concepts explaining the functioning of urban land markets. By introducing key classical economic concepts, the handbook provides foundational economic terms that are often referred to in relation to urban land markets. In doing this, we do not imply that African land markets should or ought to 'fit' into neo-classical economic theories, nor do we propose that 'perfect' markets exist.

The dry areas face severe challenges to sustainable development. The biggest challenges – food insecurity, water scarcity, land degradation, and climate change – are closely inter-related. The effects of climate change will be felt globally, but the dry areas will be particularly hard hit. Climate change will exacerbate water scarcity, rainfall variability, and the decline in the natural resource base, and thus could have a profound impact on food security.

In developing countries, cities are rapidly expanding and urban and peri-urban agriculture (UPA) has an important role in feeding these growing urban populations; however such agriculture also carries public health risks such as zoonotic disease transmission. It is important to assess the role of UPA in food security and public health risks to make evidence-based decisions on policies. Describing and mapping the peri-urban interface (PUI) are the essential first steps for such an assessment.
