“…The land component, the pure land value, is not based on the costs of producing it, as it is given by nature, which stands in contrast to the values of land improvements, such as irrigation works and buildings that people have added to the land. Specific to land is that these improvements are often bound to the land in such a way that they cannot be cost effectively separated from the land, making it so that 'investments are locational fixed' [29]. The following special features of land are distinguished by Alexander [30].…”

Acquiring access to land is an important issue for new entrants into farming. Traditionally, the succession of farms is within the family; market transactions are geared towards the enlargement of running farms. Policies and institutions have been built to facilitate this process. Current challenges of climate change, resource scarcity, biodiversity and equity, as are analysed by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the International Resource Panel (IRP), the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) reporting activities, make it so that there is a need to find alternatives for the current developments in farming, which is a process of up (scale enlargement) or out (stop farming). For these alternatives, new types of farmers who face the issue of access to land are needed. Based on FADN data and EUROSTAT data, current developments in the European farming sector were analysed to understand the impact of the process of modernisation on farmland markets and the complexities of access to land for new entrants. Whether these data may point to opportunities for alternative farming methods and the role of the direct payments of the European Union’s Common Agricultural Policy were analysed. Policies and consequences are discussed. It is concluded that, whereas alternative farming models are promoted at the level of policy aims, this is not performed at the policy guidance level of land markets. Alternatives outside traditional institutions face the issue of scaling up to create impact. The Common Agricultural Policy is, in many ways, more of an obstacle than it is a promoter of providing access to land for new farmers. New policies are needed.

“…Note that a GINI of zero means that all land holdings are the same, and that with a GINI of one, all land is concentrated. Korthals Altes [29] has, using this same method, analysed the GINI at (NUTS 2) a regional level (Table 5, Figure 3). After all, it is at the level of the region that this inequality counts.…”

“…However, additional issues such as increased spatial inequity among residents can occur. For instance, more compact urban areas and cities with higher environmental quality can boost real estate demand and make housing less affordable [36]. Consequently, low-and middle-income households will have longer distance trips than high-income households [37].…”

With the growing urbanisation phenomenon, ambitious policy interventions are needed to limit transport-related greenhouse gas emissions in urban areas. Cities are a predominant source of pollution, with urban transport contributing significantly to emissions. To address climate change, decision-makers must implement appropriate and effective mitigation instruments. This literature review focuses on the different approaches and supporting measures of urban transport land-use planning, such as mixed-used zoning plans and the compact city approach. These solutions can increase the modal shift towards zero emissions transport options. They can also reduce reliance on private vehicles and bring co-benefits and positive externalities to urban residents. Many barriers exist for policymakers, such as financial limitations or institutional immobility. Nevertheless, innovative approaches such as Artificial Intelligence and Mobility-as-a-service provide new perspectives for policymakers and can be helpful in the fight against climate change.

“…These civilian deaths were in part the result of bombings by the Allied Forces (Ekamper, 2020). During the occupation, the Allied Forces carried out around 600 bomb attacks on Dutch territory (Korthals Altes, 1984; NIOD, 2018), aimed at strategic targets, such as ports, bridges, and railways. Most bombings caused no or relatively few deaths among the civilian population; however, in few cases the attacks caused large numbers of civilian casualties (because of errors or missed targets, for example in Nijmegen there were nearly 800 victims on February 22nd, 1944, and in The Hague there were around 550 victims on March 3rd, 1945).…”

This paper investigates impacts, mechanisms and selection effects of prenatal exposure to multiple shocks, by exploiting the unique natural experiment of the Dutch Hunger Winter. At the end of World War II, a famine occurred abruptly in the Western Netherlands (November 1944 - May 1945), pushing the previously and subsequently well-nourished Dutch population to the brink of starvation. We link high-quality military recruits data with objective health measurements for the cohorts born in the years surrounding WWII with newly digitised historical records on calories and nutrient composition of the war rations, daily temperature, and warfare deaths. Using difference-in-differences and triple differences research designs, we show that the cohorts exposed to the Dutch Hunger Winter since early gestation have a higher Body Mass Index and an increased probability of being overweight at age 18, and that this effect is partly accounted for by warfare exposure and a reduction in energy-adjusted protein intake. Moreover, we account for selective mortality using a copula-based approach and newly-digitised data on survival rates, and find evidence of both selection and scarring effects. These results emphasise the complexity of the mechanisms at play in studying the consequences of early conditions.
