El presente trabajo analiza las situaciones problemáticas de tenencia de la tierra, particularmente las que afectan a la pequeña producción familiar.
Land Tenure Working Paper 2. This document analyzes the implications for land tenure and land policy of climate change. It assesses the implications of ongoing anthropogenic climate change resulting from greenhouse gas emissions for land tenure and the role that land policy can play in climate change adaptation planning in the developing world.

The Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) is a voluntary set-aside program in the United States designed to amelioratesoil erosion, control crop overproduction, enhance water quality, and provide wildlife habitat by replacing crops with other forms of land cover. Because CRP includes primarily grass habitats, it has great potential to benefitdeclining North American grassland bird populations.
Today’s food and financial crises have, in tandem, triggered a new global land grab. On the one hand, “food insecure” governments that rely on imports to feed their people are snatching up vast areas of farmland abroad for their own offshore food production.
Includes presentations on land tenure and violent conflict in Kenya and in Africa; Mt. Elgon; question and answer; addressing violent conflicts over land through negotiation.
Cities are not socially homogenous, but divided into socially and structurally differentiated sub-units. Likewise, the individuals of a community, city or neighbourhood present specific behavioural patterns and uses with respect to their public green areas.
Divided into 4 parts: land tenure issues today: historically unprecedented challenges; an analytical framework for land tenure; what land policies to meet the challenges of diversity and durability?; proposals for the French development aid position on land issues.
In this paper, 1) a delineation of main theoretical, methodological and applicative issues of landscape ecology, 2) a comparison between landscape and ecosystem ecology, 3) a critical overview of actual limits of landscape ecology, are depicted.
A expansão da agricultura e da pecuária tem sido considerada como a principal causa do desmatamento que se processa na Amazônia. A decisão de escolha do sistema de uso da terra é um elemento determinante dos níveis de desmatamento e fatores relacionados às características da família e Ao ambiente socioeconômico antecedem as decisões de adoção desses sistemas.
O desenvolvimento da agricultura e da pecuária na Amazônia tem resultado na expansão dos desmatamentos, o que contribui para emissão de gases de efeito estufa na atmosfera e redução da biodiversidade. A evolução dos desmatamentos realizada pelos produtores rurais é condicionada por características das famílais produtoras e pelo ambiente socioeconômico.
This paper takes the move from the uncertainty surrounding ecosystem thresholds and addresses the issue of ecosystem-state assessment by means of ecological integrity indicators and ‘ecological risk‘. The concept of ‘ecological risk‘ gives a measure of the likelihood of ecosystem failure to provide the level of natural ecological goods and services expected/desired by human societies.
