Resumen
Descripción
To understand land degradation and assess policy responses, knowledge is needed
of the bio-physical causes, the economic effects on farms and the incentives
farmers face to avoid or ameliorate the degradation. An empirical study of land
degradation in the Australian state of New South Wales is presented in this
article. The results suggest that there are incentives for farmers to co-exist with
certain forms of degradation, while there are also incentives to avoid some other
forms.
