Innovation in natural resource management

International agricultural research is expanding beyond the development of annual crop technologies for individual farms to the development of longer-tern natural resource management techniques for entire landscapes. But technologies of practices with a long lag time between investment and returns are unlikely to be adopted by farmers unless they have secure rights to the underlying resources (property rights). Similarly, technologies that span multiple farms are unlikely to be adopted unless neighbors and groups work together (collective action). But little is know about the way property rights and collective action in developing countries mediate the adoption of technologies by farmers and groups. This statement offers suggestions for promoting sustainable natural resource management.

Acción colectiva y derechos de propiedad para el desarrollo sostenible

Las instituciones de acción colectiva y los sistemas de derechos de propiedad moldean la forma en que la gente usa los recursos naturales.A su vez, estos patrones de uso afectan los resultados de los sistemas de producción agrícola de la gente. Juntos, los mecanismos de acción colectiva y los sistemas de derechos de propiedad definen los incentivos a los que la gente accede por llevar a cabo estrategias de gestión sostenible y productiva, y afectan el nivel y distribución de los beneficios de los recursos naturales. Los vínculos entre los derechos de propiedad, la acción colectiva y la gestión de los recursos naturales tienen repercusiones importantes para la adopción de tecnología, el crecimiento económico, la seguridad alimentaria, la reducción de la pobreza y la sostenibilidad ambiental. No empero, a pesar de su importancia en la vida de la gente, muy a menudo los derechos de propiedad y la acción colectiva se infravaloran y cuando se reconocen, no se interpretan correctamente.1.

Collective action and property rights for sustainable development

Institutions of collective action and systems of property rights shape how people use natural resources, and these patterns of use in turn affect the outcomes of people’s agricultural production systems. Together, mechanisms of collective action and property rights define the incentives people face for undertaking sustainable and productive management strategies, and they affect the level and distribution of benefits from natural resources. The linkages between property rights, collective action, and natural resource management have important implications for technology adoption, economic growth, food security, poverty reduction, and environmental sustainability. Yet despite their importance in people’s lives, property rights and collective action are often undervalued, and when they are recognized, often misunderstood.1.

exchange of knowledge and implications for policy

The proceedings summarize discussions at the 5-day Workshop on Property Rights, Collective Action and Devolution of Natural Resource Management (June 21-25, 1999) in Puerto Azul, Cavite, Philippines, which brought together a group of more than 50 government policymakers, staff from NGOs, leaders of resource user federations, and researchers from 188 countries.Non-PRIFPRI5; CAPRiEPTD[vi], 292 p
