Understanding Landscape Stewardship – Lessons to be Learned from Public Service Economics

Journal Articles & Books
Diciembre, 2013

We argue that public service economics provides a new perspective on landscape stewardship by explaining it as human‐to‐human transfer of partial property rights. These mutually linked exchanges involve rights to use, to access, or to control and allocate land, labour, skills or information. From the perspective of public service economics, we identify the actors involved in landscape stewardship and distinguish entrepreneurial strategies for service provision based on resource orientation, user orientation or competiveness orientation.

relative roles of contemporary and ancient processes in shaping genetic variation of a generalist fish in a catchment dominated by agriculture

Journal Articles & Books
Diciembre, 2013

Conversion of land for agriculture has led to the channelisation of headwater streams and reduced water quality. Resident fish populations are expected to be challenged under such conditions and may experience declines that lead to a loss of neutral genetic variation. However, species‐specific responses to recent ecological changes in stream condition and/or range expansion following glacial retreat can also influence the pattern of genetic variation found within and among contemporary populations.

Agrarian Question in Neoliberal India: Agrarian Transition Bypassed?

Journal Articles & Books
Diciembre, 2013
India

This paper re‐interrogates the positions on the agrarian question in India, to reach fresh conclusions about important agrarian policies of the Left, including that of land reforms. Internationally, the classical political economy approach to agrarian transitions has been challenged by positions arguing (a) that neoliberalism and the international corporate food regime have led to a new dominant contradiction between the peasantry and multinational agribusiness or (b) that the agrarian question for capital has been bypassed.

Determinants of herbicide use in rice production in the Philippines

Journal Articles & Books
Diciembre, 2013
Filipinas

This study identifies farm‐specific and market factors affecting the adoption of herbicides and the level of herbicide use by rice farmers in the Philippines. This requires the application of a modified version of Heckman's two‐step method to estimate a random‐effects double‐hurdle model for unbalanced panel data.

Effect of Widespread Agricultural Chemical Use on Butterfly Diversity across Turkish Provinces

Journal Articles & Books
Diciembre, 2013
Turquía

Although agricultural intensification is thought to pose a significant threat to species, little is known about its role in driving biodiversity loss at regional scales. I assessed the effects of a major component of agricultural intensification, agricultural chemical use, and land‐cover and climatic variables on butterfly diversity across 81 provinces in Turkey, where agriculture is practiced extensively but with varying degrees of intensity.
