    Labour Migration in the Middle Hills of Nepal: Consequences on Land Management Strategies

    Peer-reviewed publication
    декабря, 2018
    Nepal

    Labour migration in Nepal is having profound effects on land management. We take two examples from the hills of Nepal where the increasing trend in outmigration continues unabated and explore its consequences. The purpose of this study is to understand the impacts of the subsequent labour shortage on land management and how it affects households. We used data from two surveys and assessed land use change and degradation with a qualitative mapping method. The findings show that the local context leads to very different strategies in terms of land management.

    Multi-Party Agroforestry: Emergent Approaches to Trees and Tenure on Farms in the Midwest USA

    Peer-reviewed publication
    декабря, 2018
    Global

    Agroforestry represents a solution to land degradation by agriculture, but social barriers to wider application of agroforestry persist. More than half of all cropland in the USA is leased rather than owner-operated, and the short terms of most leases preclude agroforestry. Given insufficient research on tenure models appropriate for agroforestry in the USA, the primary objective of this study was to identify examples of farmers practicing agroforestry on land they do not own.

    Towards a Valuation and Taxation Information Model for Chinese Rural Collective Construction Land

    Peer-reviewed publication
    декабря, 2018
    China

    To promote rural revitalisation, China’s central government revised the land administration law to allow rural collective construction land (RCL) to be traded in the market and attract private and financial capitals into rural investment and development. However, the land value appreciation income of the market access is closely related to geographical location. Hence, the value appreciation of RCL is enormous in villages around cities and towns. By contrast, the land value appreciation of RCL is low in villages away from cities and towns.

    Facing Climate Change: What Drives Internal Migration Decisions in the Karst Rocky Regions of Southwest China

    Peer-reviewed publication
    декабря, 2018
    Global

    Global climate change and its influence on human migration have caused heated debates. There is no consensus about the role of environmental change in shaping migration decisions. To amass more evidence and develop a deeper understanding of the relations between the environment and migration, this paper seeks to evaluate the importance of various drivers (economic, social, political, demographic, and environmental drivers) and determine the internal mechanism in the decision process.

    Soil and Crop Management Strategies to Ensure Higher Crop Productivity within Sustainable Environments

    Peer-reviewed publication
    декабря, 2018
    Global

    The rising population and reduction in the amount of land and some other resources have created tremendous pressure on current agricultural producers to meet the increasing food demands. To cope with this challenge, certain key inputs, such as fertilizers and other chemicals, are overused, which are worsening the surroundings. This intensive agricultural production without adherence to ecological sustainability has led to declining soil health, land degradation, and severe environmental problems.
