“…In turn, characteristics of a given context influence preferences on AES characteristics, such as the length of the contract or the required compensation. Interestingly, very few studies looked at AES in ecologically valuable river valleys and marches (e.g., Saxby et al 2018). Filling this gap offers an opportunity for transferring our results to other regions with similar land use challenges.…”

“…Degradation and environmental hazards provided motivation, while collective leadership and inclusive processes further enabled the creation of sustainable sanitation facilities, community gardens, and a biogas plant to overcome previously life-threatening waterborne human and livestock diseases. These same features of social organization and place-based connections between social identity and biodiversity may also drive stewardship in wealthier contexts: in the United Kingdom, a community of stewards developed among farmers to promote wildflower diversity even in contradiction of prevailing commercial norms (Saxby et al 2018).…”

Debate about what proportion of the Earth to protect often overshadows the question of how nature should be conserved and by whom. We present a systematic review and narrative synthesis of 169 publications investigating how different forms of governance influence conservation outcomes, paying particular attention to the role played by Indigenous peoples and local communities. We find a stark contrast between the outcomes produced by externally controlled conservation, and those produced by locally controlled efforts. Crucially, most studies presenting positive outcomes for both well-being and conservation come from cases where Indigenous peoples and local communities play a central role, such as when they have substantial influence over decision making or when local institutions regulating tenure form a recognized part of governance. In contrast, when interventions are controlled by external organizations and involve strategies to change local practices and supersede customary institutions, they tend to result in relatively ineffective conservation at the same time as producing negative social outcomes. Our findings suggest that equitable conservation, which empowers and supports the environmental stewardship of Indigenous peoples and local communities represents the primary pathway to effective long-term conservation of biodiversity, particularly when upheld in wider law and policy. Whether for protected areas in biodiversity hotspots or restoration of highly modified ecosystems, whether involving highly traditional or diverse and dynamic local communities, conservation can become more effective through an increased focus on governance type and quality, and fostering solutions that reinforce the role, capacity, and rights of Indigenous peoples and local communities. We detail how to enact progressive governance transitions through recommendations for conservation policy, with immediate relevance for how to achieve the next decade's conservation targets under the UN Convention on Biological Diversity.

“…In the case study analysis, a threestages examination framework was used to measure farmers well-being. This analytical framework was a mixed of Väth, Gobien and Kirk (2019) and Nipers, Pilvere and Krievina (2015) on the farmland's standard of area and Saxby et al (2018) on the overall farmers' economic well-being. The three stages of analytical framework include: (1) the assessment on the total production value of agricultural sector; (2) the assessment on the overall wellbeing of people in the region as the baseline for well-being measurement; and (3) the examination on the minimum agriculture land converted from the minimum expected prodution and the average wellbeing.…”

“…This comprises of around 16% farmers with less than 0.1 ha, 40% farmers with land ownerships between 0.1-0.5. This situation especially occurs in crop farming (European Parliament Research, 2018;Saxby et al, 2018). We use this theoretical underpinning as the general hypothesis.…”

While carrying out its essential duties to provide adequate foods for people, the agriculture sector is facing sustainability issues. The study presents a case study of West Nusa Tenggara (NTB), whereby an increase of urban expansion activities has begun to create a centrifugal force to the province that is popularly called as the granary of Indonesia. Urban settlements slowly leapfrogged to the outskirts and reduced the size of prime agricultural lands. Moreover, existing planning policies were unable to control the situation and many farmers leave their jobs because the setback of farmers wellbeing. The size of agricultural land is highly influential towards farmer motivation to stay engaged in the farming sector. Applying qualitative methods, this study examined the minimum area of agriculture land (focusing on paddy field) to promote farmer’s well-being following three steps of the analytical framework: total agricultural production estimation, the average well-being estimation, and the prediction of minimum land provision for the average well-being. After all, one of the key important findings reveals that the average of minimum agricultural land to ensure famers wellbeing for the whole NTB Province is 0.74 Ha.
