| Australia is a vast, dry continent that faces huge challenges in reversing its land degradation processes to achieve a sustainable future. Many of these challenges are similar to those in much of the developing world. Australia is forthrightly tackling them with innovative solutions, and has become a global leader in the science and practice of agroforestry: the integration of trees into farming landscapes to enhance farm productivity, protect the environment and revitalise farming communities. Many of the greatest environmental problems (soil erosion, salinisation, declining soil productivity, fire, biodiversity loss) turn out to be a commercial opportunity when a farmer considers agroforestry in addressing them. Australia is fortunate in having developed... |

On-farm soil erosion is a plot or farm-level problem that can be mitigated through more secure property rights for individual farmers, while the sedimentation of streams and deterioration of water quality are larger-scale problems that may require more effective collective action and / or more secure property rights at the village or catchment scale. Differences in social-political contexts across nations and regions also shape property rights and collective action institutions. For example, circumstances in the Lake Victoria basin in East Africa require particular... |
