In deze evaluatie van de reconstructie zandgebieden komt eerst de ontwikkeling van de reconstructie aan bod: van een ruimtelijke aanpak van de problemen in de varkenshouderij tot een breed proces van integrale gebiedsontwikkeling. De tussenresultaten worden vervolgens beschreven vanuit vijf deelperspectieven: procesmatige en organisatorische vernieuwing, instrumentele vernieuwing, uitvoering van omgevingsbeleid, landbouwontwikkeling en sociaal-economische vitaliteit. Speciale aandacht wordt gegeven aan de reconstructiegebieden: Salland, Gelderse Vallei, Nederweert, Peel en Maas
De paardenhouderij kan door goed beleid zelfs een aanwinst worden voor het landschap en de plaatselijke economie. Een goede landschappelijke inpassing kan verpaarding van het landschap tegengaan. Hierover staat meer in deze uitgave. Dit boekje is een verkorte uitgave van het onderzoek dat Alterra uitgevoerde in opdracht van LNV
textabstractThere is a well-known debate about the respective roles of geography versus institutions in explaining the long-term development of countries. These debates have usually been based on cross-country regressions where questions about parameter heterogeneity, unobserved heterogeneity, and endogeneity cannot easily be controlled for. The innovation of Acemoglu, Johnson and Robinson (2001) was to address this last point by using settler mortality as an instrument for endogenous institutions and found that this supported their line of reasoning.
ICARDA witnessed several important developments in 2006. Of these, the Fifth External Program and Management Review (EPMR) was the most significant, as it provided a comprehensive assessment of the Center's global activities, as well as new insights and dimensions that helped refine ICARDA's new Strategic Plan for 2007- 2016. The EPMR coincided with a transition in the governance and leadership of ICARDA.

This paper identifies and discusses some key issues and challenges in financing agriculture in Sub-Saharan Africa. The analysis first reviews recent trends in agricultural financing focusing on both external and domestic sources. The paper then discusses a number of issues and challenges that affect agricultural financing in SSA. The four areas, which show a certain degree of inter-relationship, are: government commitment to support agriculture; the role of public and private sector; emerging aid modalities to agriculture; and financing regional public goods.
Agricultural activities and their complex effects on nature conservation, and the services that ecosystems deliver to humans are controversial. We present an overview of land abandonment, its driving forces and its consequences for landscape, biodiversity and humans. A descriptive metaanalysis of independently published studies highlighted the fact that the abandonment of agricultural land is a phenomenon mostly driven by socio-economic factors such as immigration into areas where new economic opportunities are offered to rural people.
