    Latin America and the Caribbean, Ecuador

    La creación de Areas protegidas (AP) en la década del 70 se dio sobre espacios ocupados por pueblos indígenas. Durante 20 años no existieron demasiados conflictos entre estas áreas y los habitantes ancestrales. Pero con el ascenso del movimiento indígena en los años 90 y sus demandas territoriales, sumada a un marco de crisis general la presión sobre las AP creció. El movimiento político indígena las reclamó como parte de sus territorios. El Estado en forma reactiva, creó convenios de manejo (de uso) que permitieron una cohabitación dentro de las AP.

The structure of incomes demonstrates the dominant role of subsistence agriculture in all three regions although commercial agriculture is important amongst better-off households in Rasht. Relationships between poverty and household characteristics including access to capital, demographic variables and income-generating activities were examined.

    Lesotho

    State efforts to reform the customary land tenure system of Lesotho have failed to produce intended outcomes. An explanation given for this failure is customary chiefs' opposition to state-sponsored reforms, as these were purportedly meant to curtail their power over land. This explanation initially appeared in 1974 connection with the Administration of Lands Act of 1973, and has since been handed down through generations of academics and policy analysts in Lesotho and outside and uncritically accepted as immutable truth.

    The effects of subsidies on the development of organic farming (OF) in the Czech Republic and in some selected EU countries are analysed in this article. The level of subsidies for OF in the Czech Republic is continuously increasing. In 1998, the total amount of subsidies was 48 million CZK, whereas in 2004, it increased to nearly 277 million CZK. The increase of subsidies led to an increase in the number of organic farms as well as the area under OF.
