“…For example, Stoms et al (2009) have evaluated the PDRs program in the United States [40], while Nixon and Newman (2016) have assessed the efficacy and politics of land use regulation on farmland preservation in the United Kingdom [42], and their findings have shown that these policies have been relatively successful in protecting cultivated land. However, each country has its own cultivated land use and policy system contexts, and these tools may not be applicable to other contexts [43]. Choosing the appropriate cultivated land protection tools or combining them may help to obtain enhanced results.…”

The decline and aging of the rural population in China has been an increasingly conspicuous problem in the past few decades and has been one of the fundamental drivers of cultivated land abandonment and loss. However, although they have endured similar rural demographic changes, some regions have experienced cultivated land expansion and the farming-pastoral ecotone is a typical one. Using Taibus as a case, this study aims to reveal the phenomenon of cultivated land expansion in the context of rural population decline and explore its underlying mechanism by addressing the role of cultivated land protection and land transfer policies. This study will also reveal the possible negative impacts and risks of cultivated land expansion. We found that 64.3% of the rural population in Taibus have migrated to other regions in 2020; however, cultivated land has increased by more than 10% in the past five years. Land transfer policies have helped to solve the agricultural labor shortage problem and increase household income, which encouraged the reclamation activities by rural households. However, under China’s land protection system, the central and the local governments have not enough incentives to prevent these reclamation activities. Cultivated land expansion in the farming-pastoral ecotone may lead to a series of negative impacts or risks, especially the overuse of groundwater resources and land desertification. Thus, we suggest that governments pay more attention to the phenomenon of cultivated land expansion and re-assess the cultivated land use policies in the farming-pastoral ecotone and other regions with similar contexts.

“…Some authors as Perrin & Nougaredes (2020) or Tornaghi (2017) have been discussing land access for agricultural production through the lens of social justice. Others as Petrescu-Mag et al (2019) are picking up the topic from the affordability and security side.…”

How to access land for producing organic food? Land policy options grounded in Torres Vedras, Portugal

Organic food demand in Portugal swiftly increases due to local governments willingness to include organic and locally produced food in school meals. We argue that local production is limited because there are no multi-sector or multi-actors approaches regarding land access, a necessity to secure local organic food supply. Based on a stakeholder’s mapping approach and semi-structured interviews and taking Torres Vedras as a pilot study we conclude that local policies require a bundle of instruments which should be made suitable for local realities. Nevertheless, local authorities have a key-role to play as facilitators for accessing land for organic food production.
