In China, the combination of land supply finitude and land use inefficiency has become a barrier to sustainable development in urban society and the economy. Land consolidation has been widely implemented as a tool to improve the quality and quantity of land use, but is mainly limited to rural areas and focuses on farmland production, while not taking into consideration of aspects such as life,...

Land consolidation is an effective means of promoting the regularization fragmented arable land, optimizing allocation land resources and improving environment in farming areas, as well important increasing economic returns households, it to scientifically assess ecological benefits agricultural consolidation. In this study, participatory rural assessment (PRA) was used investigate, detail, mea...

Accelerating the construction of high standard farmland is a major decision CPC Central Committee and State Council to strengthen work "agriculture, countryside farmers". In past two years, accelerating has been regarded as an important part strengthening material support service system modern agriculture. It clearly proposed make overall arrangements for various funds such land consolidation, ...

Farmland consolidation (FC) is among the measures to solve farmland issues, such as fragmentation, and its impact on ecological environment has always been controversial. In terms of long-term series large-area analysis, calculation a large amount data makes analysis ecological–environmental quality very difficult. To this problem, our study applied remote sensing index model Google Earth Engin...

Traditionally, potential evaluation methods for farmland consolidation have depended mainly on the experts’ experiences, statistical computations or subjective adjustments. Some biases usually exist in the results. Thus, computer-aided technology has become essential. In this study, an intelligent evaluation system based on a fuzzy decision tree was established, and this system can deal with nu...

Farmland abandonment is common in the southern EU countries. This complex phenomenon has a set of interlinked causes and consequences, among latter undermining farmers’ cooperatives role as supply aggregators. The paper discusses multi-actor farmland consolidation model that avoids some drawbacks identified by literature to models land mobilization, mostly transaction agency costs. consists on ...

Due to the multiple impacts of landform effects, spatial heterogeneity and land use policies, farmland dynamics in mountainous areas are complicated. This study investigated farmland dynamics based on land use data from a typical mountainous area, Panxi, in China for 1990, 2000 and 2010, discussed the relationship between altitude, slope and farmland changes and presented an analysis of the dri...

The transformation of medium and low yield grain fields is an important part cultivated land regulation, which basically consistent with the requirements high standard farmland construction. consolidation has experienced from overcoming single limiting factor to exploring integrated factors combining adjustment ownership then ecological landscape construction target, put forward different on en...

River restoration projects are often accompanied by major land consolidation operations, notably the re-allocation of adjacent farmland, which offers opportunity to create an extensively-managed buffer zone outside levees where specific habitat features installed for endangered terrestrial and semi-aquatic biodiversity. Modern, enrivonmentally-friendly operations might thus not only contribute ...
