This book was released on 2013 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Governments, companies and individuals with financial capital to invest, are worldwide buying or renting land in developing or third world countries. The introduction of transgenic crops in agriculture, the intensification of the production and the large amount of soybean demanded by the international market, are increasing the pressure on the resource soil. To take the right land management decision is fundamental to avoid soil erosion and to preserve soil productive capacity. Uruguay is a developing country whose economy is mainly based on agriculture. Since 2000 many foreigners started to invest in the agricultural sector and to practice intensive large scale agriculture in Uruguay. Nowadays the main crop planted by both foreigners and locals is transgenic soya. It is commonly said that foreigners investing in poor countries are exploiting the local natural resources aiming to get the highest possible profit from them. Is this a valid assumption in Uruguay? The purpose of this study is to compare the land management style of foreign and local farmers and to relate it to the soil erosion occurring in the study area. The land tenure (rented or owned fields) and the type of farmer interviewed (individual farmer or anonymous society) are taken into consideration during the analysis. Actual and future soil erosion rates are simulated and conclusions on the relation between the nationality of the farmer and the loss of soil are provided.
Book Synopsis The Political Economy of Agrarian Change in Latin America by : Matilda Baraibar Norberg

This book was released on 2019-07-24 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book makes an original contribution to the discussion about agro-food exporting countries’ governmental policy. It presents a historicized and internationally contextualized exploration of the political economy of agrarian change in three Latin American countries: Argentina, Praguay, and Uruguay. By comparatively examining how these states have acted in a context of global driven market forces and historically formed institutions, the monograph illuminates the differing capacities of state autonomy under the present era of globalized agriculture.

Book excerpt: This historical geography is concerned with the developments which have taken place from the early sixteenth century, when Uruguay -- then called the Banda Oriental -- was considered "land without use value", until the beginning of the twentieth century when the foundations were laid for the "welfare state" which existed until the 1960s. The topics dealt with include the development of cattle ranching, arable farming, and private landownership; the foundation of settlements; the building of a physical infrastructure; the growth of the country's population; and the immigration and the role played by the immigrants in the development of the countryside.

Book Synopsis Trends and Impacts of Foreign Investment in Developing Country Agriculture by : Pascal Liu
Download or read book Trends and Impacts of Foreign Investment in Developing Country Agriculture written by Pascal Liu and published by Food & Agriculture Organization of the UN (FAO). This book was released on 2013 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Substantial increases in agricultural investments in developing countries are needed to combat poverty and realize food security and nutrition goals. There is evidence that agricultural investments can generate a wide range of developmental benefits, but these benefits cannot be expected to arise automatically and some forms of large-scale investment carry risks for host countries. Although there has been much debate about the potential benefits and risks of international investment, there is no systematic evidence on the actual impacts on the host country and their determinants. In order to acquire an in-depth understanding of potential benefits, constraints and costs of foreign investment in agriculture and of the business models that are more conducive to development, FAO has undertaken research in developing countries.This publication summarizes the results of this research, in particular through the presentation of the main findings of case studies in nine developing countries. It presents case studies on policies to attract foreign investment in agriculture and their impacts on national economic development in selected countries in Africa, Asian and Latin America.
Book Synopsis Economics of Land Degradation and Improvement – A Global Assessment for Sustainable Development by : Ephraim Nkonya
Download or read book Economics of Land Degradation and Improvement – A Global Assessment for Sustainable Development written by Ephraim Nkonya and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-11-11 with total page 695 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume deals with land degradation, which is occurring in almost all terrestrial biomes and agro-ecologies, in both low and high income countries and is stretching to about 30% of the total global land area. About three billion people reside in these degraded lands. However, the impact of land degradation is especially severe on livelihoods of the poor who heavily depend on natural resources. The annual global cost of land degradation due to land use and cover change (LUCC) and lower cropland and rangeland productivity is estimated to be about 300 billion USD. Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) accounts for the largest share (22%) of the total global cost of land degradation. Only about 38% of the cost of land degradation due to LUCC - which accounts for 78% of the US$300 billion loss – is borne by land users and the remaining share (62%) is borne by consumers of ecosystem services off the farm. The results in this volume indicate that reversing land degradation trends makes both economic sense, and has multiple social and environmental benefits. On average, one US dollar investment into restoration of degraded land returns five US dollars. The findings of the country case studies call for increased investments into the rehabilitation and restoration of degraded lands, including through such institutional and policy measures as strengthening community participation for sustainable land management, enhancing government effectiveness and rule of law, improving access to markets and rural services, and securing land tenure. The assessment in this volume has been conducted at a time when there is an elevated interest in private land investments and when global efforts to achieve sustainable development objectives have intensified. In this regard, the results of this volume can contribute significantly to the ongoing policy debate and efforts to design strategies for achieving sustainable development goals and related efforts to address land degradation and halt biodiversity loss.

Book Synopsis What Drives the Global Land Rush? by : Mr.Rabah Arezki
Download or read book What Drives the Global Land Rush? written by Mr.Rabah Arezki and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2011-11-01 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper studies the determinants of foreign land acquisition for large-scale agriculture. To do so, gravity models are estimated using data on bilateral investment relationships, together with newly constructed indicators of agro-ecological suitability in areas with low population density as well as indicators of land rights security. Results confirm the central role of agro-ecological potential as a pull factor. In contrast to the literature on foreign investment in general, the quality of the business climate is insignificant whereas weak land governance and tenure security for current users make countries more attractive for investors. Implications for policy are discussed.

Book Synopsis Governing Climate Change by : Andrew Jordan
Download or read book Governing Climate Change written by Andrew Jordan and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2018-05-03 with total page 407 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Climate change governance is in a state of enormous flux. New and more dynamic forms of governing are appearing around the international climate regime centred on the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). They appear to be emerging spontaneously from the bottom up, producing a more dispersed pattern of governing, which Nobel Laureate Elinor Ostrom famously described as 'polycentric'. This book brings together contributions from some of the world's foremost experts to provide the first systematic test of the ability of polycentric thinking to explain and enhance societal attempts to govern climate change. It is ideal for researchers in public policy, international relations, environmental science, environmental management, politics, law and public administration. It will also be useful on advanced courses in climate policy and governance, and for practitioners seeking incisive summaries of developments in particular sub-areas and sectors. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
