•
Estimate ex-ante costs and benefits per treated field (EROAHI tools).
•
Estimate downstream effects of implementation and value in monetary terms
(who else is going to gain or loose from the implementation?).
•
Start a negotiation process with all land users in the catchment in order to share
costs and benefits in an equal way. This means that people may have to invest in
other's land (cash or kind). This requires a solid negotiation process.
The type of research required for this is twofold:
•
A method for quick but reliable
spatial
assessment of erosion. Interconnection of
fields, roads, commons.
•
A financial translation of this: investment and benefits per field or land unit.
•
Development of a negotiation method in order to persuade farmers to collecti-
vely invest in their catchment rather than individually invest in fields. This can
only be achieved if the assessments tools mentioned before are understandable
and excepted by the farmers (ingredients available from EROAHI).
