In-Depth Information
•
Establish the conditions for a conducive environment to support this new
kind of agriculture involving sustainable soil and landscape management,
including research and technology adoption and the provision of suitable
technologies and inputs through the commercial supply markets.
•
Establish incentive mechanisms such as payments for environmental or
community services, based on the adherence to the established protocols for
sustainable soil management and production intensification, and align any
eventually existing payments to farmers to such a service-based approach.
•
As adoption levels of sustainable soil management increase and the sustain-
able production intensification becomes an accessible option to every farmer,
introduce penalties for polluting or degrading ways of agricultural land use
and landscape management as additional incentive for late adopters.
