An alternative to incentives is to offer conservation technologies in conjunction with measures that enhance the short-term profitability of agriculture.
However, education may increase the value of labor, which in turn reduces probability to use labor-intensive soil and water conservation technologies.
Certainly, it has not led to mass adoption of conservation technologies, nor pasture abandonment.
The farmers were concerned with the falling productivity of their land due to soil erosion but conservation technologies were not adopted on erodible lands.
In our case, farm profits for many conservation technologies are initially very low or may even be negative.
We demonstrate that soil conservation technologies may induce agricultural systems to exhibit equilibria characterized by both low and high levels of soil degradation.
The productivity dynamics of figure 1 will now be incorporated into a model for the economic assessment of returns to investments in soil conservation technologies.
Intensity of conservation technologies is measured in meters on structure per ha of land.
This paper provides a new explanation for the persistent land degradation in some parts of the world, despite the availability of seemingly effective soil conservation technologies.
In this paper, using the concepts of multiple equilibria and resilience, we provide a new explanation for persistent agricultural soil degradation, despite the availability of seemingly effective soil conservation technologies.
As we show below, this vulnerability of tropical soils to degradation can cause productivity to decline to the point that restorative investments in soil conservation technologies may not be profitable.
There is clearly a need to coordinate conservation activities across farms and considerable technical skills are required to design and fit the alternative conservation technologies into the landscape.
