“…Entende-se que estes embates remetem, em um primeiro momento, para a diversidade de leituras sobre a questão ambiental e de enfoques para seu enfrentamento no âmbito da agricultura (VERHAGEN et al, 2017). Na diversidade de enfoques identificados pelos autores, enquanto a Pnater sob o MDA identificava-se com o enfoque da "agroecologia" e preconizava o desencadeamento de um processo de "transição agroecológica", sob o Mapa tende-se a estabelecer uma identificação com o enfoque da "Intensificação Sustentável" que busca conciliar o aumento da produção agrícola com a minimização do impacto ambiental desta mediante restrições à conversão de áreas naturais em agrícolas e utilização da melhor tecnologia e conhecimento disponível.…”

No contexto dos estudos sobre desmantelamento de políticas públicas de desenvolvimento rural no Brasil, o artigo questiona a oportunidade de aplicação deste referencial para interpretação da trajetória recente da Política Nacional de Assistência Técnica e Extensão Rural (Pnater). Neste estudo utilizou-se uma metodologia de análise sistemática de notícias, documentos oficiais e textos legais para caracterizar a proposta do Mapa para Política de Ater pós-2018 e, com suporte nestas fontes, buscou-se sustentar o argumento de que se encontra em curso um processo de reforma da política, com reformulação reorientada ao reenquadramento conservador. Esta análise evidencia a complexidade, as contradições e o viés conservador da mudança em curso, indicando preocupações futuras quanto a agendas de equidade e sustentabilidade. Palavras-chave: Assistência Técnica; Pnater; desmantelamento de políticas públicas; desenvolvimento rural.

“…Table 2 shows an overview of main the main actors in soil fertility management and their position towards interventions to improve soil fertility levels. Verhagen et al (2017) in their review on different approaches to agricultural intensification stated: (page 5)There is more than one way to skin a cat. There are also various ways to improve agricultural production systems.…”

“…Proponents of different interventions come from farmers’ organizations, networks, NGOs and the private sector. Research organizations, however, seldom proclaim their support for one specific intervention (Verhagen et al, 2017), which points towards a more nuanced view of best fit combinations between interventions and context. Best-fit packages consider the socio-economic and agro-environmental conditions under which an intervention works best.…”

Improving the productive capacity of lands has been on the international development agenda for many years. Yet, to date insufficient progress has been made. Although there have been successes, they tend to be of limited impact, and spontaneous spreading of good practices is low. In this article, different intervention paradigms are reviewed. It is concluded that interventions differ in their fundamental view of drivers for change. We found interventions that aim to increase the total amount of nutrients within the soil, either through increasing inputs or through increasing demands, but seldom both at the same time. We also found interventions that aim to increase the efficacy of existing soil nutrients through either increasing the nutrient holding capacity (e.g. through mulching) or the release of nutrients (e.g. through liming). The differentiation of these approaches has strong effects on the institutional organization of the intervention. This article makes the case for integrating these different approaches and for more collaboration at institutional levels to facilitate this process.

“…There are various approaches being adopted to improve agricultural production systems. Despite differences, most of the approaches focus on increasing agricultural production without depleting or over-exploiting the natural resources (Verhagen et al, 2017). The main objective of sustainable agricultural development is thus to integrate people's coexistence with potentials of natural resources over the longterm so that the production from farming lands and supporting services of ecosystems are ensured (Liniger et al, 2011).…”

Abstract. The watershed based integrated approach is considered as a more efficient and appropriate approach for resource appraisal and implementation of various sustainable development measures. The present study intends to demonstrate the application of geospatial technologies in preparation of comprehensive as well as an operational framework under Indian conditions to evaluate land and water resources patterns through a case study of Andipatti watershed, located in Theni district in the State of Tamil Nadu (India). The study used widely acclaimed various empirical and quantitative models to characterise the watershed and to understand the spatial pattern of potential-utilisation levels of the watershed resources. The study used mostly remotely sensed data for understanding surface characteristics and location enabled in-situ data such as soil, rainfall and groundwater data for understanding the sub-surface characteristics of the study area. All these datasets were integrated in a GIS environment to asses soil productivity, soil erosion, surface runoff, groundwater potential, groundwater quality, crop-land suitability, groundwater suitability for agriculture, determination of potential-utilisation index and to draw land use planning strategies. Since the methodology developed in the study is mostly depends on remotely sensed data, only minimal efforts are required for any agencies to prepare a similar systematic sustainable agricultural development plan.
