    insecure and incomplete property rights have large effects on
    the use and management of watershed resources.
    The standard policy response to this problem is
    to privatize farm land, declare riverine areas
    to be public property, and establish a set of
    restrictions on the use of both private and pub
    lic land. This paper presents a more nuanced
    concept of catchment property rights, drawing

    Extensive grazing is the predominant form of land use on at least a quarter of the world’s land surface, in which livestock are raised on food that comes mainly from rangelands. Extensive grazing differs from crop or forestry production, in which the produce remains in situ whilst growing. Evaluation for extensive grazing, unlike that for cropping or forestry, must take into account the production of both grazing forage, termed primary production, and the livestock that feed on this forage, termed secondary production.
