Aanbieders van natuur (eigenaren en beheerders) hebben steeds meer te maken met de wensen van mensen ten aanzien van recreatie, wonen en werken in de natuur. In deze studie is gekeken naar wat er bekend is over de vraag naar natuur van burgers en naar de lacunes in die kennis. Uit analyse van de literatuur en van wat mensen feitelijk doen in de natuur (vastgelegd in een video) blijkt dat de vraag naar natuur veel breder is dan algemeen wordt gedacht en dat niet voor iedereen natuur hoogwaardige natuur hoeft te zijn. Men kan spreken van democratisering van natuur.

Dit rapport geeft de huidige stand van zaken van het klimaatbeleid en probeert antwoord te geven op vragen van beheerders met betrekking tot koolstofopslag in bos. Veranderingen in omlooptijd en dunningen hebben maar weinig invloed op de opgeslagen hoeveelheid koolstof. De boomsoortenkeus is grotendeels bepalend voor de koolstofopslag in biomassa. Rijkere gronden kunnen over het algemeen meer koolstof opslaan dan arme. De enige mogelijkheid in Nederland om de koolstofopslag in bos te vermarkten is via de verkoop van CO2-certificaten bij de aanleg van nieuw bos.

Con el avance de la urbanización en Lima, muchos parceleros optaron vender sus parcelas a las inmobiliarias. Sin embargo, existe el caso de parceleros y parceleras que vieron la necesidad de resistir a la venta de sus tierras agrícolas para la lotización y tomaron, en ese sentido, diferentes mecanismos, entre ellos la producción agrícola directa y la formación de una asociación de productores.

La familia Aquino Poma decide retornar al campo y aprovechar la propiedad familiar de los Aquino. Gracias a un acuerdo, no dividen la propiedad entre los hermanos y se hacen cargo de toda la producción, construyen 10 qotañas (atajados) para la reserva de agua y de esa forma viabilizan la producción agrícola y pecuaria de su predio.

For rural women and men, land is often the most important household asset for supporting agricultural production and providing food security and nutrition. Evidence shows that secure land tenure is strongly associated with higher levels of investment and productivity in agriculture – and therefore with higher incomes and greater economic wellbeing. Secure land rights for women are often correlated with better outcomes for them and their families, including greater bargaining power at household and community levels, better child nutrition and lower levels of gender-based violence.

Land consolidation and land exchange are two important measures that can be used to improve the spatial structure of farm holdings. Unfortunately, land cannot be consolidated and exchanged in all villages of a given area simultaneously, due to economic, technical, and social considerations. Instead, an analysis has to be carried out, which allows one to rank the villages with regard to how urgently they need consolidation and exchange of land.

The land consolidation project of the parts of Vilkaviškis district municipality, Pilviškiai and Klausučiai elderates, Alksnėnai and Sūdava cadastral area is analysed in the article, the main indicators of the project, the meaning of land consolidation, the need to improve the order of the execution and implementation of these activities are described in the article. The survey was carried out to examine the opinion of the participants of the project regarding the advantages of the proceeding and results of the project as well as some of its drawbacks.

This paper aims to demonstrate the geographical range of farmland lease contracts through a field study of two large individual farmers in the Nihari district of Ibaraki Prefecture. The distribution pattern of farm fields and landowners is analyzed by the unit of community in both aspects of where the landowners reside, and where they own their farmland. The result of the study shows that fields of both farmers are distributed across 5 to 9 communities, and landowners reside across 6 to 14 communities including other villages.

Landowners may approach or may be approached by a wind development company to contract a portion of their land for a wind farm. Wind farms now produce 2% of electric energy needs. Some believe wind energy could provide 20% of our electrical needs. Touted as 'green' energy, wind farms have received tax incentives to build. But wind farms require two of a landowner's assets: wind and an access to land for turbines and transmission wire placement. As in any contractual arrangements, both parties must understand the terms of the contract and the pitfalls of the contract.
