摘要：To understand land degradation and assess policy responses, knowledge is neededof the bio-physical causes, the economic e.ects on farms and the incentivesfarmers face to avoid or ameliorate the degradation. An empirical study of landdegradation in the Australian state of New South Wales is presented in thisarticle. The results suggest that there are incentives for farmers to co-exist withcertain forms of degradation, while there are also incentives to avoid some otherforms.
