Product Description:
Drylands are a sizeable part of the world's potentially arable land. They vary from the hyper-arid regions of the classic deserts of Africa and Asia to the more common semi-arid and sub-humid areas that support extensive agricultural systems dependent on rain-fall or irrigation. This book is a sequel to 'The Economics of Dryland Management' and comprises twenty case studies from nine countries in the continents of Africa, Asia, North America and Australia. It reveals drylands resources and the costs of land degradation, illustrating the economics of reclamation, rehabilitation and prevention. Both editors are contributors to the 'Economic Analysis of the Environmental Impacts of Development Projects'.
