This book was released on 2004 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About the book: There is a widespread belief that the low growth of agricultural production and the high depletion of natural resources base in Madagascar are partly due to lack of land tenure security. This book investigates the impacts of land property on the level of agricultural investment and on farmers' level of productivity. The results show that these impacts vary across distinct sub-zone according to its institutional and socio-economic conditions. In regions where there is higher degree of agricultural commercialisation and where agricultural sector is better integrated into industrial sector, increased tenure security through land titling affects more positively farmers' level of productivity. This occurs as the result of the increase in the use of tradable input and in the investment on equipment. In other regions, empirical results find evidence on lowland but not on upland. Therefore, degree of urgency for solution varies across different regions. It is rational to undertake a selective and progressive titling program, i.e. dealing first with the regions where land has high value, and then gradually extending the system.
Book Synopsis Contest for Land in Madagascar by : Sandra Evers
Download or read book Contest for Land in Madagascar written by Sandra Evers and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2013-09-15 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Malagasy possess a profound religious, socio-political and economic attachment to land which connects individuals and kinship groups with the ancestors. International stakeholders value Madagascar for its biodiversity, minerals and agricultural potential, while the Malagasy state views land as the necessary platform for its economic development. This collection presents original research by established and rising scholars across a broad spectrum of disciplines, including Human Genetics, Anthropology and History. Authors focus on land as the pivotal factor underlying the economic, social and religious structures of Malagasy society and its relationship with outsiders, aiming to provide new insights into the issues underlying Madagascar’s ongoing economic and political malaise.
Book Synopsis Population Growth, Shifting Cultivation, and Unsustainable Agricultural Development by : Andrew Keck
Download or read book Population Growth, Shifting Cultivation, and Unsustainable Agricultural Development written by Andrew Keck and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 1994 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: World Bank Technical Paper 240. Uses the findings of more than 50 studies on the historic and projected costs of renewable energy technologies to develop a common basis for comparing the costs of photovoltaics, solar-thermal, and biomass technologies. This review estimates the costs and assesses the implications of generating liquid fuels and electricity through the use of renewable energy technologies. The author finds that improvements in technology and a shift toward cheaper crops are behind reductions in the cost of ethanol production since the 1970s and concludes that further cost decreases can be expected. Costs of electricity from biomass generation compare favorably with those of fossil-fuel generation and even hydro generation. While the experimental state of solar-thermal technologies can cause great variability in costs, the author concludes that these technologies hold the potential for low-cost storage, high efficiency, and short lead times. He documents the very rapid decline in the cost of photovoltaic modules over the past twenty years and projects that costs will continue to be reduced as the technology is improved and commercialized. Ten annexes and over forty tables and figures examine the costs, efficiency, and parameters of the various technologies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presumption of a direct causal link between formalisation of property rights and economic productivity is back on the international development agenda. Belief in such a direct causal relationship had been abandoned in the early 1990s, following four decades of land tenure reform experiments that failed to produce the anticipated efficiency results. The work of Hernando de Soto has provided the springboard for this revival. De Soto argues that formal property rights hold the key to poverty reduction by unlocking the capital potential of assets held informally by poor people. De Soto's justifications of formal title do not differ much from justifications that were advanced for ambitious land tenure reforms in various sub-Saharan African countries, starting with Kenya in the 1950s. Introduction of formal title in the African areas was seen as the key to solving problems of land degradation and improving agriculture by providing farmers with security of tenure that would create incentives for further investment in the land. This paper argues that there are five shortcomings in both the old and contemporary arguments for formalisation of land title. First, legality is constructed narrowly to mean only formal legality. Therefore legal pluralism is equated with extra-legality. Second, there is an underlying social evolutionist bias that presumes inevitability of the transition to private (conflated with individual) ownership as the destiny of all societies. Third, the presumed link between formal title and access to credit facilities has not been borne out by empirical evidence. Fourth, markets in land are understood narrowly to refer only to 'formal markets'. Fifth, the arguments in favour of formulisation of title as the means to secure tenure ignore the fact that formal title could also generate insecurity.
