    Ideally, poverty indicators improve because poor people’s livelihoods are improved. They can, however, also improve
    because poor people are expelled from the territory. This article explores the case of the cattle region of Chontales, Nicaragua, which
    during 1998–2005 experienced economic growth and declining poverty rates, spurred by investments and organizational development.
    The article argues that in the absence of pro-poor coalitions, these investments facilitated the return and strengthening of the local elite

    This article summarizes the results of a research program conducted in 11 Latin America countries, addressing two
    questions: (1) what factors determine territorial development dynamics that lead to economic growth, poverty reduction, and improved
    income distribution? (2) What can be done to stimulate this kind of territorial dynamics? We highlight five “bundles of factors” that we
    found in 19 case studies of territorial development 1, as well as the role of social territorial coalitions that appear to be necessary for

    Natural resources constitute an important axis around which rural territorial dynamics revolve. Based on empirical
    registration of how applications for and denouncements of natural resource use are dealt with in two Nicaraguan rural territories, this
    paper examines the importance of inequality for the institutional practices through which district-level governance of natural resource
    use takes place. Notable differences are identified. The paper concludes that institutional practices which promote rule-based natural

    Eroding battlefields: Land degradation in Java reconsidered

    Indonésie

    Land degradation has been a major political issue in Java for decades. Its causes have generally been framed by narratives focussing on farmers’ unsustainable cultivation practices. This paper causally links land degradation with struggles over natural resources in Central Java. It presents a case study that was part of a research project combining remote sensing and political ecology to explore land use/cover change and its drivers in the catchment of the Segara Anakan lagoon.

    In the complex agro-ecological conditions of Vietnam's northern borderlands, attempts by ethnic minority farmers to create sustainable livelihoods, along with the impacts of state development policies, have direct consequences for land use and land cover (LULC) change. In this paper we analyse the degree to which LULC has changed and diversified from 1999 to 2009 in Lào Cai Province and the underlying relationships with ethnic minority livelihood diversification strategies.

    Beyond concerns about agricultural productivity growth, issues of land governance have attracted global interest as demand for land acquisition by outsiders has increased rapidly but most of the transfers failed to live up to expectations and instead disrupted local livelihoods. We use the land governance assessment framework to identify key conceptual issues and identify how land governance in 10 African countries compares to global good practice.

    Assessments of climate change impacts on agricultural markets and land‐use patterns rely on quantification of climate change impacts on the spatial patterns of land productivity. We supply a set of climate impact scenarios on agricultural land productivity derived from two climate models and two biophysical crop growth models to account for some of the uncertainty inherent in climate and impact models.

    This study uses panel data to demonstrate two dimensions of land ownership: the distribution between households at a given time and changes within a household over time. We note that recognizing the latter dimension is only possible when analyzing rare long‐term panel data. We estimate a model for land ownership using a version of the correlated random effects estimator to uniquely identify the determinants of both dimensions amongst Kenyan smallholders.

    Inde

    Indian agricultural input industries have gone through a major transformation in the last 40 years. State owned firms grew during the Green Revolution and then stagnated or declined. Indian corporations that were protected from foreign competition are now exporters of agricultural tractors and pesticides. Foreign multinational corporations are rapidly increasing their role in the seed, pesticide, and tractor industries. Entry by large Indian firms and multinationals has increased competition in the input industries.
