    In de Systeeminnovatieprogramma’s voor de geïntegreerde en biologische open teelten zijn drie innovatieprojecten van start gegaan: De smaak van morgen, Nutriënten waterproof en Topsoil+. Elk project pakt een knelpunt op om de teelten duurzamer te maken en voor te bereiden op de geschetste toekomst van de open teelten in 2030. De toekomstbeelden schetsen een toekomst van agrarische functies die in diverse ringen rondom stedelijke kernen zijn gegroepeerd: dichtbij de stad kleinschalige verweven belevingslandbouw tot verder weg van de stad grootschalige productielandbouw

    Summary:
    "Wrong-headed agricultural and development policies, counter-insurgency activities, as well
    as corruption and cronyism by the Burmese military regime, have all caused a dramatic
    decrease in rice production and food security in southern Shan State over the past ten years.
    The township of Mong Nai provides a good example of how food security, commonly defined

    Between October 2004 and January 2005 SPDC troops launched forays into the hills of Nyaunglebin District in an attempt to flush villagers down into the plains and a life under SPDC control. Viciously timed to coincide with the rice harvest, the campaign focused on burning crops and landmining the fields to starve out the villagers. Most people fled into the forest, where they now face food shortages and uncertainty about this year's planting and the security of their villages.

    This bulletin examines the factors causing many villagers in Pa'an district to say that they now face a deepening food and money shortage crisis which is threatening their health and survival. Based on villagers' testimony, the main factors appear to be recurring forced labour for both SPDC and DKBA authorities, made worse in some areas by orders for farmers to double-crop on their land and the encroachment of new SPDC military bases on villages and farmland.

    Laos

    According to the annual report of Huaphan Provincial Agriculture and Forestry Office (PAFO) (1999), despite land allocation, some villages are still practising shifting cultivation. To address this problem many decrees and regulations on land and land use have been developed and declared. The land allocation (LA) programme is one of these initiatives. So far, no effort has been made to evaluate whether the LA programme could facilitate change in land use and land management. The major objective of this study was to assess the impact of the LA programme on land use and land management.
