Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - 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 effortsto address land degradation and halt biodiversity loss.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Modeling land degradation & food import This research develops a soil conservation model for smallholder farmers who apply little or no fertilizer. Empirical results drawn from northern Tanzania imply that ignoring the fertility mining problem in model specification leads to overestimation of profits for farms that apply little or no fertilizer. Wheat cultivation in the Hanang wheat complex, northern Tanzania erodes an average of 11 mm of soil each year. The rate of soil fertility mining averaged 22.2 kg of nitrogen/ton of wheat. Consequently, wheat yields in HWC have been decreasing. Part II of this research examined the international trade for foods with uncertain quality attributes. It is shown that enforcement is the most effective instrument for reducing importation of poor quality foods. This implies, for the government of Tanzania to check the current upward trend of importation of poor quality foods, it needs to increase its current efforts of enforcing the quality of imported foods. 76 pp. Englisch.…
