| Abstract: | In this paper, it is argued that an increased understanding of the linkages between farmers' economic incentives to control soil degradation, degradation-induced productivity decline and future farmland productivity is essential for the formulation of effective land degradation and soil management policies. As a basis for the argument, a comprehensive farm-level economic model for the optimum private and social utilization of soil over time is developed. |
