Addressing land degradation: benefits, costs, and policy directions

Diciembre, 2009
Filipinas

Land degradation in the Philippines is a serious environmental problem with long-term implications for the sustainability of agricultural production. Protection of the resource base has thus become a policy priority, whether in terms of improving crop management in the lowlands or more urgently, arresting soil erosion in the uplands. This review aims to compile and evaluate estimates of the costs of land degradation; then analyze the costs, benefits, and equity implications of priority measures to protect soil resources; and lastly, draw implications for policy.

Exposure maps: cocoa suitability

Diciembre, 2014
Indonesia

Cocoa is increasingly recognized as a crop which is vulnerable to climate change. However, the extent to which current growing areas in Indonesia will be climatically unsuited to cultivation in the future is unknown. This uncertainty makes it difficult for smallholder farmers to plan production at a farm level and for multinational exporters, processors and manufacturers, to forecast yields at a value chain level.
