Joseph M. Gergela, the executive director of the Long Island Farm Bureau, said the extension supporters had deliberately downplayed the restrictions that would govern land use in the extension.
Chief among them, they said, was that the extension would intrude on the towns' home-rule powers by giving jurisdiction over land use in the extension area to the state-created pine barrens commission.
We show that contracts provided by local government peasant associations offering additional credit, land use security and extension services could be an effective means to increase the share of farmers implementing soil conservation measures.
A prototype interactive spatial decision support system (SDSS) has been developed to assist land use scientists, agricultural extension support personnel and farmers to classify and characterise land quality, assess sustainable land management and identify potential land use solutions at the farm recommendation unit and resource management domain levels in Kenya.
Diseases have reduced crop productivity, spoiled harvests, and acted as a curb on the better integration of land use and on the extension of pastoralism and mixed farming into underused areas.
Finally, the study identified five suitability levels, which has revealed the trends, challenges and prospects of land use analysis for urban extension in City of Regina.
We present Land Use Plus (LU+), an extension for the LANDIS-II FLM that allows users to integrate externally-developed, spatially and temporally explicit representations of land use or other disturbance into simulations.
The rich households are more likely inclined than are the poor households to diversify land use options and by extension management regimes, since the former do not find sufficient feeds for their large herds during the dry season.
Results also suggest that the proximity, type and extension of land use patch interplay influence the degree of changes in riparian integrity, which in overall terms displayed appreciable resistance to alterations and indirect disturbance.
This paper presents an extension to the Constrained Cellular Automata (CCA) land use model of White et al. [White, R., Engelen, G., Uljee, I., 1997.
