5. Sustainable Land Management Policies
Given the need to foster sustainable land management to maintain its various (public) goods and services, there is often a clear rationale for government interventions and policies. These can range from specific national incentives in the form of fertilizer subsidies to general farm income support, as with the Common Agriculture Policy in the EU. In developing countries such support is often embedded in rural development policies that target smallholder farmers. An important issue is the actual impact of such policies on good stewardship of land. We invite papers and posters which deal with the theoretical basis and the impact of sustainable land management policies.
