Lessons from economic and institutional analyses of soil conservation projects in Central America and the Caribbean
The research presented in this volume was motivated by a desire to analyze soil degradation and conservation in Central America and the Caribbean objectively. A cost-benefit approach was used to analyze soil degradation problems and the cost-effectiveness of proposed solutions. The main focus is on the profitability of conservation measures and the constraints to their adoption from the farmers' perspective. Because soil degradation problems tend to be very site-specific, a case study approach is employed. Past and present conservation efforts are also examined for institutional lessons they may contain for the design of future project, institutional, or policy interventions.
