agricultural land management

This paper deepens the economic analysis of the effects of land consolidation – reduction of land fragmentation. It does this in the context of rural Vietnam, studying whether land consolidation promotes or hinders the Vietnamese government's policy objectives of encouraging agricultural mechanization and stimulating the off-farm rural economy.

Restoration of marginal and degraded lands is essential for regaining biodiversity and ecosystems services, and thereby attaining UN-Sustainable Development Goals. During the last few decades, many fast growing and hardy trees have been introduced worldwide to restore the marginal and degraded lands for ecosystem stability.

With the aim of improving farmland use efficiency without damaging the social function of farmland, Chinese policymakers have proposed the ‘trifurcation of land rights’ reform. When it comes to realization of the law, however, neither the Ownership Model nor the Bundle of Sticks Model can adequately explain this reform.

Growing domestic and international ethanol demand is expected to result in increased sugarcane cultivation in Brazil. Sugarcane expansion currently results in land-use changes mainly in the Cerrado and Atlantic Forest biomes, two severely threatened biodiversity hotspots. This study quantifies potential biodiversity impacts of increased ethanol demand in Brazil in a spatially explicit manner.

This paper is one of three thematic case studies resulting from a set of pilot projects undertaken jointly by civil society and private business partners from 2016–2019 in five countries in sub-Saharan Africa.

O volume I do livro Terra e Trabalho, cujo subtítulo é “Usos e Abusos do Espaço Agrário Brasileiro”, é composto por uma coletânea de autores que abordam diferentes temas atinentes à Geografia, apresentando visões e abordagens diversificadas sobre o espaço agrário brasileiro, trazidas por pesquisadores especialmente convidados para aportarem suas contribuições.

Between Vietnam's independence and its reunification in 1975, the country's socialist land tenure system was underpinned by the principle of "land to the tiller". During this period, government redistributed land to farmers that was previously owned by landlords. The government's "egalitarian" approach to land access was central to the mass support that it needed during the Indochinese war.

Since the early 2000s the Lao government has dramatically increased the number of large-scale land concessions issued for agribusinesses. While studies have documented the social and environmental impacts of land dispossession, the role of Vietnamese labour on these Vietnamese-owned rubber plantations has not previously been investigated.

ABSTRACTED FROM EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: This research analyses the ways in which current changes in land tenure, agrarian and socio-economic systems are reshaping resource allocations and transfers within households in indigenous communities in Ratanakiri Province, Cambodia.

En juillet 2017, le nouveau Premier ministre, Abdelmadjid Tebboune, tient un Conseil interministériel et procède au gel de plusieurs décisions concernant « l’affectation des réserves foncières destinées à la création de nouvelles exploitations agricoles et d’élevage » [1].

La agricultura familiar campesina (AFC) ha sido marginada sistemáticamente a pesar de su aporte a una alimentación sana y cuidado del medioambiente. Es tiempo de revalorizarla y abrir discusión desde una postura optimista, basada en observaciones directas en terrenos y marcos teóricos desarrollados por los agraristas de la corriente chayanoviana.
