Book Synopsis Land degradation neutrality by : Onyango, V., Davies, J., Sharpe, N., Maiga, S.I., Ogali, C., Perez-Rocha, J., Isakov, A.
Download or read book Land degradation neutrality written by Onyango, V., Davies, J., Sharpe, N., Maiga, S.I., Ogali, C., Perez-Rocha, J., Isakov, A. and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 2021-09-17 with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In rangelands and grasslands, land degradation has an immediate and local impact by disrupting ecosystems from functioning, threatening livelihoods and negatively affecting social cohesion. It also threatens productivity while dovetailing with the threats of climate change in these ecologically fragile areas. The understanding of land degradation in rangelands and grasslands is weak, which is attributed to a lack of robust data and a misunderstanding of management objectives. The day-to-day management of land by pastoral communities is intricately linked to local and traditional knowledge that needs to be taken into account when monitoring the health of ecosystems and designing management interventions. Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 15 Life on land includes Land Degradation Neutrality (LDN) as a target, which requires that the process of degradation is halted and reversed. This publication presents a rationale for participatory approaches to achieve LDN in pastoral areas while showing how this can be achieved using the Participatory Rangelands and Grasslands Assessment (PRAGA) that has been piloted in Kenya, the Niger, Burkina Faso, Uruguay and Kyrgyzstan.

Book Synopsis Regularization of Informal Settlements in Latin America by : Edesio Fernandes
Download or read book Regularization of Informal Settlements in Latin America written by Edesio Fernandes and published by Lincoln Inst of Land Policy. This book was released on 2011 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In large Latin American cities the number of dwellings in informal settlements ranges from one-tenth to one-third of urban residences. These informal settlements are caused by low income, unrealistic urban planning, lack of serviced land, lack of social housing, and a dysfunctional legal system. The settlements develop over time and some have existed for decades, often becoming part of the regular development of the city, and therefore gaining rights, although usually lacking formal titles. Whether they are established on public or private land, they develop irregularly and often do not have critical public services such as sanitation, resulting in health and environmental hazards. In this report from the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy, author Edesio Fernandes, a lawyer and urban planner from Latin America, studies the options for regularization of the informal settlements. Regularization is looked at through established programs in both Peru and Brazil, in an attempt to bring these settlements much needed balance and improvement. In Peru, based on Hernando de Soto's theory that tenure security triggers development and increases property value, from 1996 to 2006, 1.5 million freehold titles were issued at a cost of $64 per household. This did result in an increase of property values by about 25 percent, making the program cost effective. Brazil took a much broader and more costly approach to regularization by not only titling the land, but improving public services, job creation, and community support structures. This program in Brazil has had a cost of between $3,500 to $5,000 per household and has affected a much lower percent of the population. The report offers recommendations for improving regularization policy and identifies issues that must be addressed, such as collecting data with baseline figures to get a true evaluation of the benefit of programs established. Also, it shows that each individual informal settlement must have a customized plan, as a single approach will not work for each settlement. There is a need to include both genders for long-term effectiveness and to find ways to make the regularization self-sustaining financially. Any program must be closely monitored to insure the conditions are improved for the marginalized, as well as be sure it is not causing new informal settlements to be established.
Book Synopsis Agriculture and the Environment by : Ernst Lutz
Download or read book Agriculture and the Environment written by Ernst Lutz and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 1998-01-01 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Agriculture in developing countries has been remarkably productive during the last few decades; however, the production levels were achieved at the cost of placing more stress on natural resources and the environment. This volume brings together state-of-the-art applied, practical research related to agriculture, development, and the environment in the developing world. It attempts to distill current knowledge and to summarize it in readable form for development practitioners. Where possible, authors use specific examples to indicate which approaches have worked and which have not, under which conditions, and why.

Book Synopsis Prevention of Land Degradation, Enhancement of Carbon Sequestration and Conservation of Biodiversity Through Land Use Change and Sustainable Land Management with a Focus on Latin America and the Caribbean by : Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
Download or read book Prevention of Land Degradation, Enhancement of Carbon Sequestration and Conservation of Biodiversity Through Land Use Change and Sustainable Land Management with a Focus on Latin America and the Caribbean written by Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 1999 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of IFAD/FAO consultation was to bring together experts in order to review the state-of-the-art knowledge in carbon sequestration for the land management programmes IFAD and FAO in Latin America and the Caribbean. The main objectives addressed were: how to stabilize the atmospheric concentration of CO2; how to increase agricultural productivity and reduce rural poverty; in view of the Global Mechanism for Desertification Convention, how to activiate the flow of new funds for the benefit of Convention implementation through carbon sequestration, i.e. its binding and neutralisation. It is believed that carbon stock in soils is either stable or increasing and that it is was a major source of global carbon emission, a major cause of global climate change

Book Synopsis Developments in Soil Classification, Land Use Planning and Policy Implications by : Shabbir A. Shahid
Download or read book Developments in Soil Classification, Land Use Planning and Policy Implications written by Shabbir A. Shahid and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-02-15 with total page 875 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the world’s population continues to expand, maintaining and indeed increasing agricultural productivity is more important than ever, though it is also more difficult than ever in the face of changing weather patterns that in some cases are leading to aridity and desertification. The absence of scientific soil inventories, especially in arid areas, leads to mistaken decisions about soil use that, in the end, reduce a region’s capacity to feed its population, or to guarantee a clean water supply. Greater efficiency in soil use is possible when these resources are properly classified using international standards. Focusing on arid regions, this volume details soil classification from many countries. It is only once this information is properly assimilated by policymakers it becomes a foundation for informed decisions in land use planning for rational and sustainable uses.
Book Synopsis The Causes and Progression of Desertification by : Helmut Geist
Download or read book The Causes and Progression of Desertification written by Helmut Geist and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-08 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an examination into the causes and prospects of desertification through a systematic review of 132 sub national case studies. It uses a meta-analytical model to determine whether proximate causes and underlying driving forces fall into any patterns, to identify mediating factors, feedbacks, cross-scalar dynamics and typical pathways. It shows a limited set of recurrent core variables in varying combinations to drive desertification. Most prominent root causes are climatic factors, institutions, national policies, population growth and remote economic influences that lead to local cropland expansion, overgrazing and infrastructure extension, associated with desertification as a potential but not necessary outcome. Some factors are geographically robust; most of them are region and time specific.
