Download or read book Review and Assessment of Available Indicators for Evaluating Sustainable Land Management written by Peter Neave and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The need to determine whether current land management practices and agricultural systems are environmentally and economically sustainable has led to the development of a framework for assessment of sustainable land management (SLM). Indicators of SLM can be grouped into four categories: physical, agronomic, economic, and social. This report reviews some indicators of SLM and assesses selected indicators using 1991 Census of Agriculture data. The indicators were selected on the basis of criteria from the literature as well as availability of data. Examples of indicators having the potential for use in SLM are cropping intensity, nutrient budgets, yield variability, windbreak density, crop influence on soil quality, summerfallow trends, gross margin with and without government subsidies, and debt load.

Book excerpt: Planning for the use of rural lands in the developed countries of the world has become an increasingly contentious process as resources become more limited and conflicting needs grow stronger. The critical questions are "Which is more important—agriculture, livestock production, recreation, industry, or urban housing?" and "Who decides priorities and responsibilities for use?" The capacity of the land to meet all of the demands placed upon it, without serious environmental disruption, has become a major concern for all. Recognizing the exigencies of the situation, the contributors define and evaluate the theoretical and methodological frameworks within which rural land-use problems can be analyzed. In , the discussions focus on the identification and characterization of resources and competing users of rural lands, stressing that a careful articulation of the problem is essential to effective planning. is aimed at developing appropriate information bases useful in planning for the problems related to the management of these rural lands. The discussion of policy options for rural resource use in builds upon the material in the previous two sections to provide a framework for an analysis of rural resource use.

Book Synopsis Land Management by : Colin Hindmarch
Download or read book Land Management written by Colin Hindmarch and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2008-04-30 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mature ecological criticism of agricultural policies is not easy: targets agreed in Biodiversity Action Plans must be achieved within a framework of agricultural and economic policies. Developing a balanced solution is the essence of sustainability. Until recently the hidden costs of high-production systems on biodiversity has been ignored. This booklet identifies some of the hidden costs of unsustainable production, and also considers examples where conservation management has failed. The authors argue that sustainable land management is possible, and that conservation and production interests can be satisfied. They go on to show how a sustainable approach can be applied throughout Europe. The approach adopted is the one that has underpinned the development of the European Union Biodiversity strategy and is becoming a compelling force for change in Europe's decision-making processes. Land managers and planners, ecologists and agriculturalists will, in particular, find this booklet an invaluable resource. However, it will also appeal to those with a more general interest in the issues of land management.

This book was released on 1989 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the research reported is to identify barriers to conservation in agricultural land use, and to assess the prospects for their removal. Major objectives are: to identify the nature & extent of conservation practices by farmers in south-west Ontario, to characterize & evaluate major barriers to the use of such practices, and to consider factors which promote and/or obstruct adoption of soil conservation practices for policies & programs. The research involved a literature review, a mail questionnaire, telephone interviews, and use of secondary data as appropriate. A range of variables relating to the human, physical, and economic characteristics of the farm operation was tested for their possible association with the use of conservation practices. A copy of the survey questionnaire is appended.
