“…We are not aware of any research into the interplay of mandatory and incentive-based instruments with regard to farmers' environmentally relevant behaviour. In the UK context, it was argued by Blackstock et al (2020) that availability of advisory services can be a precondition for AECM uptake (see also Ingram and Mills, 2019). However, given a lack of similar analyses in Germany, as well as the underrepresentation of sustainable soil management in the very heterogeneous German system of agricultural extension services, this cannot be verified in the context of our case study.…”

“…Instrument choice and design is an art: Each instrument class has relative advantages and disadvantages, which need to be analysed in a context-specific way and especially in relation to the societal targets and drivers of environmental degradation that they are supposed to address. According to the so-called Tinbergen rule, each objective (target) should be associated with an instrument (Braathen, 2007;Tinbergen, 1952), though interactions between various instruments are particularly relevant for assessing each instrument's effectiveness and efficiency (Blackstock et al, 2020;Schader et al, 2014). The choice of the instrument mix influences the distribution of benefits among stakeholder groups, which can be used as guide to select appropriate instruments (Pannell, 2008) and is related to the issues discussed with respect to object adequacy (qui bono?).…”

Abstract. Governance of natural resources is inherently complex and requires navigating trade-offs at multiple dimensions. In this paper, we present and operationalize the “governance disruptions framework” (GDF) as a tool for holistic analysis of natural resource governance systems. For each of the four dimensions of the framework (target adequacy, object adequacy, instrument adequacy, and behavioural adequacy), we formulate guiding questions to be used when applying the framework to particular governance systems. We then demonstrate the use of GDF by applying it to the core of German agricultural soil policy. We show that for each framework dimension, the governance system exhibits deficits, particularly with respect to object adequacy and instrument adequacy. Furthermore, we use the GDF-based analysis to highlight research gaps. We find that stakeholder analyses are a central gap across GDF dimensions.

The allocation and utilization of forest resources is closely related to forest land tenure policies. Problems related to overlapping claims to forest areas are basically related to the existence of various products that can be utilized from forest resources and other potential natural resources. This encourages various parties to "participate" in the utilization and use of forest areas, which in the end gives rise to disputes or disagreements over resources that lead to forest resource conflicts. The research focus is on the Implementation of Land Settlement in Forest Areas (PTKH) in Central Sulawesi Province. The study used a qualitative approach through field observations and in-depth interviews. Data analysis was carried out qualitatively-descriptively. The results show that Agrarian Reform is a constitutional mandate to provide a sense of justice in order to create prosperity for the people, and resolve forest area problems and conflicts. Completion of the ongoing control and use of land in forest areas through PTKH activities to provide a sense of justice in order to create prosperity for the people, and resolve forest area problems and conflicts. The implementation of PTKH is in the form of legalizing assets through the release of forest areas and legalizing access through social forestry licensing in Central Sulawesi Province with recommendations for settlement patterns for changing boundaries (asset rights) and social forestry licensing patterns (access rights).

The water–energy–food–land–climate nexus: Policy coherence for sustainable resource management in Sweden

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The concept of a ‘nexus’ across issues regarding the management of natural resources has gained increasing academic attention in recent years, but there is still relatively limited research on the application of the nexus approach for evaluating policies. This study analyses coherence among the main goals of five policy areas (water, energy, food, land, and climate) in Sweden, drawing upon a desk review, expert assessment, and interaction with stakeholders. The main objective is to enhance understanding of opportunities and challenges posed by such a nexus, understand policy interactions in Sweden, and provide insights into the use of policy coherence analysis as an integral part of resource nexus assessments. The analysis reveals synergies and conflicts between policy goals. For example, Sweden's environmental quality objectives (EQOs) regarding land and all the goals regarding water are either synergistic or neutral. Likewise, climate policy goals are well aligned with the goals regarding energy and ground water quality. On the other hand, the key goal for agriculture, which is food production, is the least coherent with those of the other policy areas. There are conflicts between the EQOs and goals regarding agricultural and forestry production. Stakeholders also indicate that climate goals are treated with higher priority than the goals of other policy areas. Notably, some interactions between policy goals are synergistic or conflicting depending on the context or their interpretation. Implementation of existing goals depends on relevant stakeholders' interests, priorities and interpretations, and on existing prevailing discourses in society, often supported by higher level policies.
