News and current affairs

The use of land is also receiving more serious scrutiny.
A Dutch analysis of land use has shown that by employing the best technical and ecological means on the best available land, substantial gains could be made in food production.
Europe also needs a restructuring policy for land use.
Many structural improvement programs have been financed at the European level, but agricultural production and land use are not among them.
Reforestation and the repair of natural ecosystems should also be part of a land use policy.
Metropolitan agriculture in a rapidly urbanizing world can provide high-quality produce on small amounts of land.
And it should not be a defensive policy of the sort that tends to concentrate on poor-quality land.
They could make a real contribution to cleaner, more productive, and efficient farming and land use, while addressing social needs.
Likewise, in many parts of the world, tropical rainforest is being cleared for pasture land and food crops.
As a result, the new pasture land or farmland is soon abandoned, with no prospect for regeneration of the original forest and its unique ecosystems.
Simply restricting the practice of land clearing probably would not work, since farm families and communities would face a strong temptation to evade legal limits.
On the other hand, financial incentives would probably succeed, because cutting down forest to create pastureland is not profitable enough to induce farmers to forego payments for protecting the land.
What, then, might be the prospects of a negotiated peace between two peoples with claims to the same land?
There is now widespread agreement on the need for increased donor financing for small farmers (those with two hectares or less of land, or impoverished pastoralists), which is especially urgent in Africa.
