Book excerpt: Thesis (M.A.) from the year 2018 in the subject Politics - Environmental Policy, University of Gondar, course: law, language: English, abstract: Using qualitative method this study tries to find out whether the ANRS rural land laws' normative and institutional frameworks and their enforcement mechanisms are adequate or not in protecting environmental degradation in rural areas of South Wollo Zone, Ethiopia. Legal provisions of the ANRS rural land laws which deal with unlimited land use right, limited land distribution, land right registration and certification, obligations to conserve and protect the land, expropriation for environmental purpose, incentive and the existence of legal remedy will encourage the zone’s rural environmental protection. However this does not mean that such laws are comprehensive rather such laws fails to comprise all possible obligations of land users, lacks clarity and provided in general terms with weak remedies. There is also no cooperation mechanism or forum among stockholders in the areas of rural land administration and environmental protection. Much attention is given to land administration issues than environmental protection. Environmental degradation related to rural land in Ethiopia in general and in ANRS, in particular, is reflected in the form of land degradation, loss, and degradation of water resources, deforestation as well as decline and/or loss of biodiversity. Ethiopia has designed a number of environmental laws. But such laws suffer from various defects which affect their ability to promote environmental protection. So efforts to use laws to protect the rural environment should look beyond just environmental statutes. Therefore seeking a solutions and studying rural land administration laws will be helpful to defy land degradation in rural areas. The rural land and environmental protection institution also lack financial, material and manpower capacities which hold back to carry out its duties. Due to these reasons, the rural land administration and environmental protection institutional setup of the Zone remains inadequate to properly protect the rural environment. In relation to rural land environmental protection, the ANRS rural land laws are practically not enforced in the zone due to the legal gap and unclear less, insufficient and political will to enforce the rural land laws. So the rural land environment of the South Wollo Zone remains in peril so long as there is no effective and enforced rural land law, government commitment, and well-designed, empowered and coordinated institutions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the groundbreaking Food, Agriculture, and Environmental Law, leading environmental legal scholars Mary Jane Angelo, Jason Czarnezki, and Bill Eubanks, along with five distinguished contributing authors, undertake an exploration of the challenging political and societal issues facing agricultural policy and modern food systems through the lens of environmental protection laws. Through this exploration, the authors seek to answer difficult questions about the need for new approaches to agricultural policy and environmental law to meet 21st Century concerns surrounding climate change, sustainable agriculture, accessibility to healthy foods, and the conservation of natural resources and ecosystem services. This is the first book to examine both the impact of agricultural policy on the environment and the influence of environmental law on food and agriculture. The authors present a brief historical overview of agricultural policy as it has adapted to satisfy shifting demands and new technologies, and its role in shaping not only the current farming system and the rural economy, but also the value which we ascribe to our natural resources relative to agricultural production. The authors then explain in detail the components of the current farm bill; analyze the ecological impacts of the modern farming system encouraged by our nation s agricultural policy; and examine the interplay between agriculture, food production and distribution, and existing environmental and related laws. They conclude with several concrete proposals to reform agricultural policy that serve as models of how to enhance sustainability in our farming and food system. This book supplies a comprehensive, timely, and cohesive guide on the intersection of agriculture and the natural environment. It achieves this goal through an interdisciplinary lens, engaging diverse perspectives to provide both a practical and academic examination of the environmental impacts of current farm policy, the applicability of environmental regulatory mechanisms to agriculture and food, and reform proposals to combat environmental harms while protecting farmers economic interests as well as the rural communities they bolster. As a result, this work serves as the quintessential text for bringing these issues to the classroom in a variety of fields, including law, public policy, agricultural economics, and environmental science.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book critically examines the development and current structure of European Union agri-environmental measures at a substantive level. Examining the measures in an integrated manner, showing how they interrelate linking different aspects of European Union agricultural law and policy, this volume examines the legislation adopted at European Union level as well as the impact of particular national measures to implement that legislation. Where appropriate, comparisons are drawn between the manner in which European Union legislation has been implemented among various Member States. Critically assessing European Union and national measures, in the light of other policy pressures such as the influence of world trade agreements and the political pressures exerted by the agricultural sector within the national legal systems of individual Member States, this volume is a valuable resource for academics researching and practitioners working in the areas of European Union environmental and agricultural law.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Debates concerning the federal role in regulating industry and in managing the nation's public lands are becoming increasingly contentious. This is in part due to the rise of well-organized and ideologically energized land rights movements that have vowed to resist expansion of environmental regulations and even to roll back existing environmental statutes. A Wolf in the Garden is the only book available that assembles the arguments of key thinkers in the land rights and the environmental movements. The broad range of essays in this collection unveils hidden dimensions of the debate and explores opportunities for the environmental movement to revitalize itself by taking advantage of recent changes in the political landscape.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: China is a multiethnic country with a vase territory, a land of diverse ecosystems. With the drive for industrialization in China and the implementation of a western grand development strategy in western regions, both governments and people face great challenges in environmental protection and sustainable use of biodiversity resources as a result of growing interaction between human activities and the natural environment. To meet the challenges, governments in these regions need to adopt a series of important policy measures not only to reduce industrial emissions but also to return farmland to forests and pasture to grasslands and to implement measures of ecological migration to reduce human activities in ecological conservation areas. In this regard, China must not only learn profound lessons from industrialized countries but also search for international cooperation. The United States provides some good comparative case studies on environmental protection, grassroots environmental management, and conservation policies in western regions. This book attempts to address key questions about Chinese and U.S. environmental policies by looking at the historical development of environmental protection and the current environmental policies in the western regions of the two countries.

Book excerpt: The preservation of open space has captured the public's imagination. Disappearance of open space is associated with the general degradation of the quality of community life, and in a broader sense, what is happening to open space is what is happening to the local environment. Despite this reality, there is no comprehensive source of information about strategies available to localities to protect the environment. Open Ground: Effective Local Strategies for Protecting Natural Resources is designed to fill that void. It is offered with the knowledge that properly drafted land use ordinances, land acquisition programs, and smart growth strategies can protect critical landscapes and valued natural resources.

This book was released on 2014-09-14 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John R. Nolon's Protecting the Environment through Land Use Law: Standing Ground takes a close look at the historical struggle of local governments to balance land development with natural resource conservation. This book updates and expands on his four previous books, which established a comprehensive framework for understanding the many ways that local land use authority can be used to preserve natural resources and environmental functions at the community level. Standing Ground describes in detail how localities are responding to new challenges, including the imperative that they adapt to and help mitigate climate change and create sustainable neighborhoods. This body of work emphasizes the critical importance of law in protecting the environment and promoting sustainable development.Standing Ground looks at the legal foundations of local environmental law within the federal legal system, how traditional land use techniques can be used to protect the environment, and innovative and flexible methods for protecting fragile environmental areas and for making urban neighborhoods livable. Nolon examines the effects of climate change on sea level and storm surges, examining local strategies for disaster preparation, mitigation, and recovery. He discusses the growing emphasis on green infrastructure and urban agriculture as crucial strategies for fostering a healthy environment and analyzes the role of environmental impact review. The book concludes with a discussion of environmental dispute resolution and consensus-based land use decision-making.Standing Ground is both a call to action--challenging readers to consider how local law and policy can augment state and federal conservation efforts--and a celebration of the valuable role local governments play in protecting our environment."This book is committed to understanding that, in the face of new challenges, an integrated approach to environmental law that is interdisciplinary, multifaceted, and participatory is essential."--Robert Lane, Senior Fellow for Urban Design, Regional Plan AssociationWhen it comes to the subject of local environmental law, John Nolon is a passionate, inspirational, and authoritative guide and teacher. The rest of us--lawyers, planners, professors, judges, public officials, and citizen activists--have all benefited from his insights and have been challenged to think carefully and creatively about the ways in which local law and policy can augment and improve upon federal and state efforts to protect our fragile environment from a growing number of threats."--Michael Allan Wolf, Richard E. Nelson Chair in Local Government Law, University of Florida Levin College of Law
