Landcare in Australia: does it make a difference?

Article Abstract:

Landcare groups help in sustainable resource management and to increase landholders' awareness of land degradation issues. Multivariate analysis shows that landcare respondents are more concerned about tree planting and soil tests. The difference in the stewardship ethic of participants and nonparticipants is significant. With limited resources, these groups are doing fine work. Government aid is inadequate and it is impossible to manage land degradation only by changing landholders' attitudes.

An overview of the environmental impact of agriculture in the U.K

Article Abstract:

Some agricultural practices and supplies in the UK pose environmental hazards that could affect the country's human population, flora, fauna and bodies of water. The environmental impacts of agriculture in the UK have been associated with pesticides, nitrogen compounds, farm livestock wastes and soil erosion. The UK's agricultural sector must develop management techniques and systems to reduce hazardous environmental impacts associated with agriculture.
