“…Denver and Lenore demonstrated that the agricultural land reserve in British Columbia is relatively successful in protecting farmland [36]. On the contrary, research by Duguma and Tebarek showed that the legislation of farmland transformation greatly affects the livelihood assets of farmers [37]. Some scholars have analyzed the important factors of black land protection by establishing the index system of black land protection.…”

The whole trusteeship of green agricultural production plays an important role in promoting the protection of black land, and it is particularly crucial to clarify the behavioral characteristics and game relationships of agents involved in the whole trusteeship. This study uses the dynamic evolutionary game method to construct a tripartite evolutionary game model of governments, service organizations and farmers participating in the whole trusteeship of green agricultural production, aiming to come up with effective strategies to promote the widespread application of green agricultural production trusteeship and achieve agricultural green development. The results are as follows: (1) At present, the agricultural production model in Northeast China is dominated by traditional agricultural production and supplemented by green agricultural production. (2) Incentive and punitive measures will encourage agents to adopt positive strategies. (3) In areas with a poor awareness of green agricultural production trusteeship, the government’s incentive and punishment measures for farmers and service organizations are imbalanced. (4) The relatively high cost of trusteeship leads to a lack of market competitiveness, which has a negative impact on service organizations promoting green agricultural production trusteeship. This study provides an effective reference for improving the overall implementation effect of black land protection in Northeast China.

The agriculture sector plays a significant role as the primary source of food and income for the farmers in Ethiopia. This study was conducted in three districts of the Akaki Kaliti sub-city of Addis Ababa city in the 2021/22 production year. Urban agriculture is the agricultural production in cities and the areas near cities for food and other purposes. In this demonstration activity, a total of 61 (47 male and 14 female) headed farmers benefited and a total of 14 hectares of bread wheat and 30 hectares of land were covered by teff. From the demonstrated technologies average grain yield of 56.66 qt/ha of bread wheat was produced and mean grain yield of 22.16 qt/ha was obtained from teff which is higher than the national average. Hence, to boost agricultural production the dissemination and adoption of improved crop varieties with full production packages requires the attention of stakeholders engaged in the agricultural sectors to use cluster farming to elevate poverty and ensure food security.

“…According to Koroso et al [55], the builtup area of the sub-city increased by 115% within fifteen years (from 2004 to 2019). Several scholarly articles have also revealed the severe impact of unplanned rapid urbanization on land tenure security generally in Addis Ababa [8,27,53,[56][57][58], notably in the Akaki-Kality sub-city peri-urban areas [54,55,59].…”

Fit-for-purpose land administration (FFPLA) seeks to simplify cadastral mapping via lowering the costs and time associated with conventional surveying methods. This approach can be applied to both the initial establishment and on-going maintenance of the system. In Ethiopia, cadastral maintenance remains an on-going challenge, especially in rapidly urbanizing peri-urban areas, where farmers’ land rights and tenure security are often jeopardized. Automatic Feature Extraction (AFE) is an emerging FFPLA approach, proposed as an alternative for mapping and updating cadastral boundaries. This study explores the role of the AFE approach for updating cadastral boundaries in the vibrant peri-urban areas of Addis Ababa. Open-source software solutions were utilized to assess the (semi-) automatic extraction of cadastral boundaries from orthophotos (segmentation), designation of “boundary” and “non-boundary” outlines (classification), and delimitation of cadastral boundaries (interactive delineation). Both qualitative and quantitative assessments of the achieved results (validation) were undertaken. A high-resolution orthophoto of the study area and a reference cadastral boundary shape file were used, respectively, for extracting the parcel boundaries and validating the interactive delineation results. Qualitative (visual) assessment verified the completed extraction of newly constructed cadastral boundaries in the study area, although non-boundary outlines such as footpaths and artifacts were also retrieved. For the buffer overlay analysis, the interactively delineated boundary lines and the reference cadastre were buffered within the spatial accuracy limits for urban and rural cadastres. As a result, the quantitative assessment delivered 52% correctness and 32% completeness for a buffer width of 0.4 m and 0.6 m, respectively, for the interactively delineated and reference boundaries. The study proposed publicly available software solutions and outlined a workflow to (semi-) automatically extract cadastral boundaries from aerial/satellite images. It further demonstrated the potentially significant role AFE could play in delivering fast, affordable, and reliable cadastral mapping. Further investigation, based on user input and expertise evaluation, could help to improve the approach and apply it to a real-world setting.
