This publication is a lobby material to advocate the passage of the National Land Use Act (NLUA). It highlights the ambiguous land policies and processes as factors to the degradation of watershed and protected areas in Cagayan de Oro and Northern Mindanao Region of the Philippines, resulting to extreme typhoon disasters. Thus, this paper explains how the NLUA will address such policy issues from the local development perspective of Northern Mindanao.

At Shared Assets we believe that land is a common resource and that it should be made to work for everyone. This means using land to generate social, environmental, and economic value. Mainstream models of land management often fail to deliver social and environmental value, whilst many also require subsidies to be profitable. We need new models of land management, and we believe land-based social enterprises can deliver them.

A surge in land grabbing over the past decade has seen millions of people displaced from their homes and farmland, often violently, and pushed deeper into poverty. As demand for food, fuel and commodities increases pressure on land, companies are all too often striking deals with corrupt state officials without the consent of the people who live on it. Until now, there has been little analysis of the role that corruption plays in the transfer of land and natural resources from local communities to political and business elites.

El presente artículo se basa en el documento del mismo nombre recientemente difundido por el Instituto para el Desarrollo Rural de Sudamérica (IPDRS), octavo en la serie EXPLORACIONES. El texto revisa históricamente el papel de las políticas públicas que los Estados Nacionales implementan en la profundización de las brechas de desigualdad en las estructuras agrarias de Sudamérica, y analiza la directa y estrecha relación entre éstas y la construcción de las relaciones de fuerza entre los actores agrarios de la estructura de propiedad de la tierra.

El mundo se ve distinto desde Charagua. Recibí al año 2010 en esta localidad del Chaco Boliviano, que acaba de  ganar por referéndum su reconocimiento como municipio indígena,  aunque realmente es intercultural,  debido a una presencia importante de población guaraní, criolla, mestiza, menonita, quechua y aymara. Gran parte de sus habitantes se dedica a actividades agropecuarias como principal fuente de ingresos.

Les pays en développement d'Asie doivent faire face à l'année la plus difficile depuis la crise financière de 1997/1998. L'effondrement du commerce mondial suite à la crise économique globale a été lourd de conséquences pour les industries manufacturières de la région. Les ménages ruraux ont particulièrement souffert de ce recul en raison de la perte d'emplois hors du secteur agricole. Une action rapide des décideurs politiques de la région est nécessaire afin d'atténuer les conséquences de la crise, les incitations fiscales pouvant jouer un rôle important à cet égard.
