چکیده
Given current land degradation trends, Land Degradation Neutrality (LDN, SDG Target 15.3) by 2030 could be difficult to attain. Solutions avoid, reduce, and reverse are not being implemented at sufficiently large scales, pointing governance as the main obstacle. In this paper, we review dynamics in agricultural governance, potential may have enable or provide solutions towards LDN. The literature reveals agency shifts taking place, where value chain actors given increasing decision-making power governance. These manifested two interrelated trends: First, through coordination, such contract farming, increasingly influence management decisions. Second, international large-scale acquisitions domestic larger-scale farms, both instances of intensified direct involvement with management, overtaking significant areas land. new arrangements associated expansion, additionally unsustainable due absent landowners, short-term interests, high-intensity agriculture. However, also find that tools business cases catalyze LDN solutions. We discuss how governments other brokers can motivate push private deploy measures degradation. Successful implementation requires refocusing efforts and, necessary, constrain all over including actors.

متن کاملThe Pioneer’s Curse: Selection Bias and Agricultural Land Degradation
Expansion of agriculture into new regions has often been followed by land degradation. In this paper, it is argued that the process of land development involves the selection of pioneer's with optimistic expectations about the robustness and carrying capacity of new land. Hence, there is a systematic bias towards over-exploitation and land degradation. The argument is shown to be an extension o...
متن کاملSpeculation in Agricultural Land
Agricultural land prices in many developed countries rose and then fell dramatically over a relatively short period of time in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Most of the models in the literature that describe the dynamic behaviour of agricultural land prices suggest that these sharp price movements were not completely due to market fundamentals. Many attribute part of this price volatility to ...
