China

The quality of cultivated land has been seriously degraded due to the overuse of chemical fertilizer in China. Land conservation technologies (LCTs) have been proven to effectively address land degradation and improve land productivity.

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

LandLibrary Resource
Peer-reviewed publication
Diciembre, 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.

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

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.

Grassland biomass is the embodiment of grassland productivity, and the material basis for the maintenance of the grassland ecosystem. Grassland is the main vegetation type in the Mongolian Plateau.

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

LandLibrary Resource
Peer-reviewed publication
Diciembre, 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.

Exploring Drivers of Livelihood Diversification and Its Effect on Adoption of Sustainable Land Management Practices in the Upper Blue Nile Basin, Ethiopia

LandLibrary Resource
Peer-reviewed publication
Diciembre, 2018
Ethiopia

Land degradation poses a major threat to agricultural production and food security in Ethiopia, and sustainable land management (SLM) is key in dealing with its adverse impacts. This paper examines the covariates that shape rural livelihood diversification and examines their effects on the intensity of adoption of SLM practices.

Mapping Cropland Abandonment in Mountainous Areas Using an Annual Land-Use Trajectory Approach

Diciembre, 2018
China

In recent years, with the unceasing acceleration of China’s urbanization and rapid development of the country’s economy, cropland abandonment has become an ongoing issue, especially in mountainous areas. Mapping abandoned cropland using remote sensing technology is still challenging due to the difficulties in distinguishing abandoned cropland from fallowed land.

Identification of Arable Marginal Lands under Rainfed Conditions for Bioenergy Purposes in Spain

LandLibrary Resource
Peer-reviewed publication
Diciembre, 2018
Spain

The cultivation of bioenergy crops could be considered as sustainable; however, its use in fertile lands could conflict with food production. The general purpose of this study is to identify areas where traditional food crops are not economically sustainable, but where they could be substituted by energy crops without changing the land use in Spain.
